Job postings containing "AI" in their titles have tripled between 2022 and 2023, according to a recent analysis by the job board Indeed. The percentage of these listings increased from under 3% in 2022 to over 8% in 2023. Indeed's data, which covers the period from July 2023 to January 2024, reflects this growth. This increase indicates a change in how employers define and advertise roles related to artificial intelligence.
