The impact of artificial intelligence on the job market
With the evolution and popularization of artificial intelligence (AI) in recent years, we wonder how this technology affects the job market. A recent report shows that it has already had a significant impact. Job postings now include roles where professionals work directly on AI development, such as specialist engineers, or roles where AI is seen as a required skill, for example for digital product managers or consultants in cyber security.
An increase in applications for AI-related positions
This study also highlights that job seekers are increasingly attracted to these AI-related positions. Over the past two years, jobs explicitly mentioning AI have seen a 17% increase in applications. LinkedIn’s vice president of global talent acquisition, Erin Scruggs, confirms that candidates are aware of the popularity of these new professions.
Demand for ChatGPT in the United States
Another report, by ResumeBuilder, indicates that 92% of business leaders in the United States are recruiting and 91% are specifically looking for candidates with experience with ChatGPT. In addition, one in four employers would be willing to offer starting salaries exceeding $200,000 and 17% of them would go so far as to offer more than $300,000 for engineers specializing in AI prompts.
