On the hunt for a new job? Building artificial intelligence tech could be a safe option. The market for jobs in the AI sector has surged in the last two years, according to a recent analysis from the University of Maryland and job-tracking firm LinkUp — the latest in a slew of studies indicating AI skills are in high demand. Anil Gupta, a professor of strategy, globalization and entrepreneurship at the University of Maryland’s Smith School of Business who co-led the research, said the analysis showed a clear “ChatGPT effect,” referring to how the OpenAI-developed chatbot’s launch led to the job posting spike – replacing many IT-related job listings. The analysis comes from AIMaps, a collaboration between the University of Maryland’s Smith School of Business and LinkUp. The program tracks the growth of AI jobs across different sectors in the United States, such as manufacturing and retail. Job postings in AI fields have spiked 68% in the United States since the end of 2022, while overall job postings have declined 17% in the same period, according to the AIMaps data. According to ZipRecruiter data provided to CNN, AI job postings on the site grew 124% from 2023 to the end of 2024. In January, LinkedIn listed AI engineer and AI consultant as the fastest-growing jobs in the US, and PwC found last year that jobs requiring AI skills were growing more than three times as fast as all jobs.
