Emotional Intelligence Designer

If you’ve been watching Westworld you already have a grasp on this career; it requires the ability to create machine code that mimics human emotions. Once A.I. becomes better-versed in the ability to communicate like a human (both understanding and reacting), it will become even more all-encompassing.

Behavior Analytics

A specialist who knows what consumers will want is going to be worth their weight in gold. The ability to combine data analytics with both cognitive computing and machine learning are the gurus of tomorrow; people who can gain insights into the behavior of consumers to intelligently guess in what direction markets are going before they get there will be invaluable. And a great behavior analyst can apply themselves to other fields too, including cybersecurity.

As 3D printing settles in – and it doesn’t appear to be going anywhere anytime soon – the world will change accordingly. From human organs to consumer products, 3D printing will rewrite the planet around us and as such, exciting and lucrative new opportunities will arise for those who work in this field.

  7. Feedback Loopers– Someone who can create amazing feedback loops.
  8. Backlashers– Those people who can handle and respond to the ever-present backlash that new tech brings.
  9. Last Milers– The ability to create solutions to help tech that’s reaching its end goal as it winds down.
