Ten per cent of workers hired in 2024 have job titles that didn't exist 24 years ago, according to new data from LinkedIn.
Those workers are doing jobs including social media manager, data scientist, AI engineer and sustainability manager, according to the website.
The research came from LinkedIn's inaugural Work Change Snapshot.
LinkedIn data also showed the skills needed for jobs in Australia are projected to change by 66 per cent by 2030 compared to 2016, as rapid developments in Artificial Intelligence accelerate workplace change.
"Businesses are having to manage seismic shifts in the way work is done, and professionals are stepping into roles that didn't exist a decade ago, highlighting the need for continuous learning and the development of skills," Adam Gregory, Senior Director, ANZ, LinkedIn Talent and Learning Solutions, said.
"While artificial intelligence holds huge potential to improve day-to-day work, the majority of businesses are still figuring out how to best bring that potential to life."
Worried AI will take your job? These are the lowest risk professions
Australian business leaders recognise the transformative potential of generative AI, with eight in 10 reporting at least one way the technology could benefit their teams, LinkedIn said.
But just one in 10 business leaders say that their organisations are leading in AI adoption.
LinkedIn is rolling out new AI features including Hiring Assistant to help managers find job candidates, as well as a new AI-powered coaching feature within LinkedIn Learning.
"We are excited to trial LinkedIn's first AI agent, Hiring Assistant, to select customers in Australia," Gregory said.
"This AI-assisted hiring experience will streamline the recruitment process and enhance efficiencies.
"By freeing up talent leaders' time, they can concentrate on the most strategic and people-centric aspects of their roles."
