    Career

    Career outcomes

    Career prospects in AI and machine learning are excellent, with a strong job growth predicted in the coming years. Completion of an Adelaide University degree combined with your practical experience will open numerous opportunities in this progressive field.  

    The developing nature of AI and machine learning means it is being adopted as a preferred method of streamlining processes across a range of industries. From technology companies to start-ups, business organisations and large companies, your expertise will be in high demand. 

    You might develop the next ‘AI-powered chef’, a system that can create new recipes and optimise cooking processes for those with busy lives. You could apply machine learning to analyse wildlife patterns and track endangered species using smart camera systems to prevent poaching and extinction. Perhaps you’ll work with museums, galleries and digital art platforms to create software that analyses and categorises artwork.  

    Careers to consider include: 

    • AI engineer 
    • ML specialist 
    • Computer scientist 
    • Computer programmer 
    • Game AI programmer 
    • LLM prompt engineer.  

    Industry trends 

    Currently, strong AI adoption can be seen across sectors like financial and professional services and information/communication technology. An estimated A$280 billion of economic benefits is expected for other Australian businesses in 2030 if they adopt AI-powered products and tools (Google, 2024) – adding over $22 trillion to the global economy (Australian Government, 2024). This significant growth and adoption of AI and machine learning in recent years, indicates we can anticipate greater advancements and developments moving forward. 

    To implement these technological changes, there will be an increase in demand for AI-skilled workers who can spearhead these new technologies and transform everyday businesses. Adelaide University’s computer science degree will equip you with the skills and knowledge to become a leader in the advancement of these innovative industry technologies.
