As AI jobs continue to rise, tech layoffs among companies become more common.
The popularity of artificial intelligence in honing employees' skills has been sensational among recruiters and employers. Some firms want to invest in this technology to attract more potential workers who wish to join the company.
In Stanford University's Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence study, roughly 800,000 job openings have been related to AI in the US alone since 2022.
AI-Related Job Hiring in the US
According to Stanford's 2023 AI Index Report, the place with the most opportunities related to AI is California. The data suggests that over 142,000 positions were posted online last year.
Given that California is a prosperous state in the US, it's understandable why several major companies are building their headquarters here. Some tech firms include Meta, Google, and OpenAI, the creator behind ChatGPT.
Behind California are Florida, New York, and Texas, which also have a lot of AI job hiring.
It should be noted that, on average, AI-related job openings account for 1.5%. In smaller states such as Arkansas and Delaware, the job postings linked to artificial intelligence have reached 2.66% and 2.03%, respectively. Despite that these are low percentages, they still exceed the national average.
Meanwhile, Washington D.C., the capital of the United States, recorded nearly 3% of AI job postings.
Private Industry Research Overshadows Academic Research in AI Study
According to CNBC, AI research from private firms continues to dominate the industry over studies from academies.
The collaborative research is still effective, with the United States and China going strong in their exploration.
The report says the bond between the two superpower nations regarding this undertaking has skyrocketed since 2010. However, the relationship slowed down in 2021.
