Four of the top six recruiters for AI professionals in the UK are universities, according to data released by job site Indeed. Imperial College London makes up 7.4 per cent of AI job listings on the site, followed by Amazon, who made up 4.9 per cent. Oxford, Cambridge and University College London and IBM round up the top six companies competing hard to recruit AI talent to their organisations. Shawn Bose, general manager at Indeed Prime said that the number of AI jobs being created by universities is "striking." "With AI technology still in its infancy, academic researchers are racing to discover its full potential. Just as the genesis of Silicon Valley came when the worlds of scientific research and business collided at California's Stanford University, we could be seeing a similar pattern beginning to emerge with AI in the UK."
