In Canada it is starting to be good to be an AI developer and / or data AI analyst, AI scientist. According to a new report by Indeed, AI jobs in Canada have risen over 1,069% from 2013.
To compile their report Indeed looked at all available AI jobs posted on their website across different industries in Canada, UK and US.
The result that they got found that AI jobs rose by almost 1,069% since 5 years and are growing at much higher rates than in countries like UK and USA.
Jodi Kasten, managing director at Indeed Canada, said
“Advances in artificial intelligence have stoked fears of large-scale job loss, our data shows that AI can help create jobs, too. These jobs are also found in a variety of industries including finance and tech and for a budding and complex technology like AI, there will be continued need for highly-skilled workers to develop and maintain a wide range of AI applications in Canada.”
