AI jobs are facing a crisis of sorts as new research reveals that high-intensity AI adopters have seen a significant spike in employment numbers. The latest report from the American Association for Artificial Intelligence found that these companies, known as "high-intensity AI adopters," have experienced an increase of 10.2% in headcount over the past year.
Among those companies that are particularly well-positioned to adapt to the changing landscape of AI is one that has seen a notable rise in entry-level employment numbers. According to the report, countering the conventional wisdom that AI kills junior jobs, these companies have actually seen an increase in entry-level headcount of 12%. This growth is likely due in part to the increasing demand for skilled workers with expertise in areas such as natural language processing and computer vision.
The findings from this report come at a time when many experts are warning about the potential dangers of automation and the impact it may have on employment. However, the data suggests that AI has opened up new opportunities for individuals who were previously out of reach due to their level of expertise or experience. Whether these companies will be able to capitalize on this growth remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the future of work in AI is more complex than anyone could have anticipated.
