Is AI Taking Your Job This Year? Staggering Stats Show How the Technology Is Reshaping the Workforce.

Key Takeaways

• Data and software company ZoomInfo released new data on Monday showing that the word "AI" in job titles has increased dramatically, by 200%.
• AI-related managerial titles increased almost threefold in the past two years. 

• Thomson Reuters CEO Steve Hasker told The Toronto Star on Monday that people won't be replaced by AI, but could be replaced by other people who know how to use it.

In the past two years, the number of job titles that have shifted to include the word "AI" has increased by 200%.

That's according to new research from data and software company ZoomInfo, which tracks more than 1.5 million staff changes every day through a proprietary database of contacts.

ZoomInfo found that the most common AI-related job titles were those of engineers, scientists, developers, and researchers. Nearly half of all AI job titles also included the word engineer.

The focus on engineering-related AI roles indicates that companies are still building out the technical infrastructure needed for AI, per Fast Company.

ZoomInfo also revealed that the number of AI-related managerial roles exploded in two years. In the second quarter of 2022, ZoomInfo's database tracked about 3,700 new AI leadership roles. By the second quarter of 2024, that number had almost tripled to 10,875 new AI management positions added that quarter.

Most of that growth was centered in the C-Suite, which had a 428% increase in AI-related roles in two years.
