AI Security Specialist: attacks that resemble no other, and those who must stop them
Prompt injection, data poisoning, model evasion: Artificial Intelligence systems have an attack surface of their own, so specific that it has earned dedicated taxonomies from NIST, the OWASP project and MITRE. Guarding it is the craft of the AI Security Specialist, in a European market where security specialists are already in short supply, even before…

AI Data Engineer: data do not move on their own. The profile Europe seeks and struggles to find
Every Artificial Intelligence model lives on the data that someone has collected, cleaned, transformed and served: that someone is the AI Data Engineer, whom the European needs analysis places among the most needed roles and whom businesses, according to the Union’s statistics, genuinely struggle to find. Inside a craft of architectures, data pipelines and a…

AI Deep Learning Engineer: the craft of neural networks, between theoretical foundations and market demand
Deep-learning architectures have rewritten the recent history of Artificial Intelligence, from vision to language; and those who can design, train and bring them into production are among the profiles that the European needs analyses flag as most needed. Inside the craft of the AI Deep Learning Engineer: what it truly requires, beyond enthusiasm for neural…

AI Prompt Engineer: the urgency certified by Europe and a craft that is not what it seems
The European analysis of Artificial Intelligence skills needs says it plainly: the prompt engineer is an emerging role that requires urgent attention, and the training on offer is almost non-existent. Yet few crafts are so misunderstood: it is not about chatting with machines, but about designing, validating and maintaining the instructions, context and controls of…

AI Algorithm Engineer: the engineering that decides how much Artificial Intelligence costs, consumes and can withstand
Every Artificial Intelligence system has a bill to pay in computation, energy and latency: those who cut it without sacrificing accuracy and robustness practise one of the most technical and least visible crafts in the whole sector. The AI Algorithm Engineer, between mathematical modelling, performance optimisation and a European market that for ten years has…

Chief AI Officer: the role that answers for Artificial Intelligence, from Washington to European business
In the United States, every federal agency is required to designate one, by executive directive; in Europe, it is the organisational answer to the most uncomfortable question of the moment: who is ultimately accountable for the Artificial Intelligence an organisation uses? A portrait of the Chief AI Officer – between the American mandate, Europe’s demand…

AI Consultant: when skills cannot be found, they are bought. The Artificial Intelligence consultant
In 2023, more than half of the European businesses that looked for IT specialists failed to find them: it is in this structural shortage that the market for Artificial Intelligence consulting has its roots. But what sets an AI Consultant apart from a seller of enthusiasm? The international sources, the ethics of the role and…

AI Product Manager: why adopting Artificial Intelligence is, above all, a product discipline
Organisations buy models and get demonstrators; few turn Artificial Intelligence into products that people actually use. The difference, argue Stanford faculty in the Harvard Business Review, lies in the disciplines of product management. A portrait of the AI Product Manager: the craft, the figures of a growing global demand and the Italian benchmark. The thesis…

ISO/IEC 17024:2026: how professional competences are certified, and what changes with the new edition
After fourteen years, the 2012 edition of ISO/IEC 17024 is superseded: the new edition, published in 2026 and transposed as UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC 17024 in April 2026, updates structure and terminology and, for the first time, addresses the use of Artificial Intelligence in certification processes. It is a decisive turn, coming just as the…

ISO 9000:2026: the vocabulary of Quality is renewed
Before rules come words. In May 2026 the fifth edition of ISO 9000 was published, the standard establishing fundamental concepts, principles and vocabulary of quality management, transposed as UNI EN ISO 9000 (May 2026) replacing the 2015 edition. It is not a certifiable standard, and precisely for this it is the most important: it is…
