CCTV News: The latest data show that the digital talent gap in the mainland has approached 11 million. The reporter combed through the 4 batches of 56 new occupations released by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security since April 2019, and more than 20 new occupations related to the digital economy. The continuous development of the digital economy is giving birth to more new occupations.
In the Digital Economy Industrial Park in Xinguangshan County, Henan Province, the company is conducting a driverless data labeling work.
The data annotator that Pan Lunfeng is talking about is called artificial intelligence trainer. Although they are in Henan, they serve large Internet companies thousands of miles away. Compared with other industries, artificial intelligence trainers only need a computer and a network cable to work anytime, anywhere. This has also attracted many local young people to return to their hometowns for employment.
From the landing in Guangshan County in 2018, in just 4 years, the company's artificial intelligence trainer team has reached more than 500 people, and this year plans to expand to 1,000 people. Behind the continuous expansion of the scale of enterprises is the opportunity brought about by the rapid development of the digital economy in the mainland.
According to the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, the size of the mainland's digital economy grew from 2.6 trillion yuan in 2005 to 39.2 trillion yuan in 2020, and its share of GDP increased from 14.2% in 2005 to 38.6% in 2020. By 2025, the number of jobs driven by the digital economy will reach 379 million.
