Hong Kong’s labour chief Chris Sun says demand for AI practitioners with both technical ability and professional expertise could grow three to fourfold. He argues that deep subject knowledge and soft skills will matter alongside AI know-how.
Why it mattersSun made the remarks at the Global University Presidents and Leaders Summit, according to the South China Morning Post. He also said AI is destroying some jobs while creating others, rather than making employment a simple contest between people and machines. That forecast is a useful prompt for workers and educators, but it is a prediction, not a measured hiring trend. If AI expertise is set to multiply, should training prioritise technical skills or the domain knowledge and people skills that help put them to work?
