In this Trending Topics episode, Sam and Lex dive into two recent reports — one detailing skills on the rise and the other detailing in-demand jobs — both of which highlight the transformative impact of AI on the job market. The most surprising thing? Many of these skills and roles didn't even exist 10 (or even five) years ago. 

The conversation explores the importance of soft skills in an AI-driven world, the latest trends in recruitment, and the necessity of upskilling for future success. Check it out!
