New McKinsey survey reveals the AI tech-talent landscape

January 20, 2023After five years of steady, sometimes heady, growth, AI adoption has plateaued, according to The state of AI in 2022, our annual survey of 1,500 companies. Use cases are stable, and the market for tech talent is tight, with new "hot jobs" surfacing every year. But much remains to be done about managing risk and building inclusive teams.

He authored the research with senior partners and QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey leaders Alex Singla and Alex Sukharevsky; partner Helen Mayhew; and associate partner Bryce Hall.
