The AI revolution is extending deeper into the workplace. A recent study by the company Kraftshala, an online digital marketing institute, showed that the search trend for “AI Jobs” went up by 113% from the start of 2024 to May 2025.
Varun Satia, the co-founder at Kraftshala has told Digital Journal: “Whether AI will steal most of our jobs or not, remains to be seen, but there’s an undeniable surge in demand for AI skills. Future professionals will have no choice but to master AI skills or get left behind by those who hopped on this bandwagon at the right time.”
