AI Job Market Cools Off to a Steady Boil

Huge shortages, astronomical salaries, raids on engineering departments at universities--this has been the state of the job market for AI and machine learning experts for the past few years. And with AI technology finding use in new industries almost daily, it seemed demand for AI and machine learning expertise would never slack. Job search site Indeed looked for the answer to that question in its annual review of AI job postings. And Indeed concluded that it just might be seeing a slowdown--that is, if you call 29 percent growth a slowdown. The number of AI jobs listed on the site from May 2018 to May 2019 increased by 29 percent over the same period a year earlier.
