The 10 most in-demand AI jobs of 2019

Postings for jobs in artificial intelligence (AI) rose 29% in the last year, from May 2018 to May 2019, according to new data from job search site Indeed. However, this represents a significant decrease from years past: From May 2017 to May 2018, AI job postings on the site grew nearly 58%, and from May 2016 to May 2017, they grew 136%. Job seeker interest in AI-related positions is also beginning to slow, Indeed researchers noted in a Friday blog post: Searches for AI-related jobs on Indeed decreased by nearly 15% in the last year, while they had increased 32% and 49% the previous two years. The drop suggests there may be more open jobs than there are qualified employees to fill them, the post noted.
