There is no short answer to this question. There are a number of factors to consider when looking for a job in any field, but especially in a relatively new and growing field like artificial intelligence (AI).
To start with, it is important to have the right skills and experience. In order to get a job in AI, you will likely need to have expertise in computer science, mathematics, and programming. It is also helpful to have experience working with AI applications or platforms, as well as exposure to machine learning algorithms. If you can demonstrate that you have the skills and experience necessary to be successful in an AI role, you will be one step ahead of the competition.
That said, this is not the only path into AI. I'm a director at an AI incubator, and I'm not tecnial at all. I founded some automation companies, and then made the transition into AI.

This is an amazing skill to have that very few people possess. You'll find not many of the job titles will say "AI" in them, but the type of engineering you learn while pursuing these skills can be applicable across many different functions and companies
Thank you Jessica for your answer, I have been seeing that some offers related to the subject are emerging, kind regards.

The most successful AI professionals often share common characteristics that enable them to succeed and advance in their careers. Working with artificial intelligence requires an analytical thought process and the ability to solve problems with cost-effective, efficient solutions. It also requires foresight about technological innovations that translate to state-of-the-art programs that allow businesses to remain competitive. Additionally, AI specialists need technical skills to design, maintain and repair technology and software programs. Finally, AI professionals must learn how to translate highly technical information in ways that others can understand in order to carry out their jobs. This requires good communication and the ability to work with colleagues on a team

AI by itself is very generic, it all boils down to what field what problem you can solve. For autronics field and with the advent of autonous cars/drones/etc, there can be more scope on AI but depending on what problem you are solving. Devil is the details.
Thank you Ramesh for your explanation, I will keep it in mind, regards.

Hola, Emmanuel.
El mundo tecnológico global está apostando fuertemente a la Inteligencia Artificial (IA), GenIA, Machine Learning (ML) y otros elementos que nos permiten automatizar procesos. Esta tendencia es bien conocida y popular. En México, estamos comenzando a explorar estos temas y, hasta ahora, pocas personas y empresas se destacan en estas áreas. Por lo tanto, desarrollar estas habilidades te dará una ventaja competitiva.
Las empresas mexicanas están apostando a este futuro y abriendo oportunidades. Por lo tanto, aprender cómo funciona, cómo probar y alimentar estas herramientas de automatización es esencial para el futuro del trabajo. Conseguir un empleo es un buen objetivo, pero considera también adquirir conocimientos y habilidades para desarrollar experiencia. Esto ampliará tu campo de acción y, por lo tanto, tu crecimiento personal, profesional y económico.

Hi Emmanuel,
Artificial Intelligence is a huge field that is growing in scope and importance. The ability to collect data and store it relatively simple. Figuring out how to use that data and teach a computer to teach itself how to use that data is really transformative. The need for companies to leverage AI is growing exponentially since those don't use it have a great competitive disadvantage. That being said, the demand for this skillset and what you can do with it is big and will continue to get bigger and bigger.
Thanks,
Matt

Hey Emmanuel, Great question.
Digital transformation is either positively or negatively affecting every industry in the world. The ability to apply intelligence to the constant stream of data going through the environments we work and live in to make better decisions and transformative processes (which is the essence of AI) is one of the key drivers of success. Utilizing AI is currently giving companies a competitive advantage, but I believe in the not to distant future it will be a required part of most businesses like many other technologies we now take for granted (e.g. collaboration technology).
With this in mind there will many opportunities for people who can leverage AI to assist business decisions and processes. You can also apply it almost any industry, which will allow you to follow your passion.
Best of luck & success in exploring AI.

Its not about difficulty on gettng a job for an ML fresher. It’s about your knowledge. If you have good coding experience with strong data science concepts. You should know end to end project deployment experience or must have atleast created some PoCs if not complete products to be able to show your mettle to the prospective employer
I agree, as one advances in knowledge, you find where more things can be applied, I am trying to learn everything possible and every day I like this area more, thanks for your response and contribution, greetings.
