How to get a job in AI in 2025
Starting a career in AI often requires a degree in computer science, mathematics, robotics, or data analytics. Leading technical universities in Poland, such as Warsaw University of Technology, Wrocław University of Science and Technology, AGH University of Krakow, and the University of Warsaw, offer specialized AI programs.
However, not having a degree doesn’t mean the door is closed. Alternative learning paths include:
- Online courses (e.g., Coursera, Udemy, DataCamp, edX);
- Tech bootcamps (e.g., SDA, CodersLab);
- Certifications from tech giants: Google Cloud ML, Microsoft AI Fundamentals, IBM Applied AI.
The demand for AI education is rapidly growing. According to Coursera’s data, over 3.2 million learners enrolled in generative AI courses in 2024 alone, showing how much interest there is worldwide, especially in countries like India and the USA.
The most important factors are hands-on skills: Python proficiency, knowledge of ML libraries, data processing, and model development. Aspiring AI professionals should engage in open-source projects, participate in AI hackathons, and build a strong portfolio (e.g., on GitHub). In addition, understanding how recruitment platforms evaluate candidates can give job seekers an edge in the hiring process.
Challenges in Artificial Intelligence career development and recruitment
While AI offers attractive salaries and exciting development opportunities, it also presents challenges. Rapidly evolving technologies require constant learning and adaptability. At the same time, competition for top roles is increasing. Candidates must demonstrate not only technical expertise but also communication, creativity, and flexibility. In today’s IT world, soft skills are more valuable than ever.
From the employer’s perspective, Artificial Intelligence and recruitment go hand in hand. Hiring top AI talent has become a race. Companies must offer more than just attractive salaries – flexible work arrangements, a culture of innovation, and growth opportunities are now essential. The recruitment process is evolving to keep up with the future of hiring.
Interestingly, AI is also changing recruitment itself. Automated tools are increasingly used in the hiring process to screen resumes, schedule interviews, and assess candidates. While this can increase efficiency, over-reliance on algorithms, chatbots, or generic messaging may discourage top applicants. Striking the right balance between automation and human touch in the recruiting process is one of today’s biggest challenges for recruiters.
