AI drives tech layoffs but boosts US salaries by $18,000 in non-tech fields, study reveals
US jobs with AI skills pay 28% more as non-tech sectors embrace automation. (AI Image) Artificial Intelligence (AI) is driving major changes across the US labor market, according to a new report by labor market analytics firm Lightcast. While the tech industry has seen widespread layoffs, non-tech sectors are experiencing a rise in job opportunities and salaries tied to AI proficiency. The "Beyond the Buzz" report, based on an analysis of over 1.3 billion job postings, reveals a significant salary premium—28% on average, equating to nearly $18,000 more annually—for roles requiring AI skills outside traditional tech functions. The study illustrates the widening gap between declining tech roles and growing AI-enabled positions across other industries. AI-linked layoffs accelerate in the tech sector The tech industry, once the center of AI innovation, is now undergoing a contraction due to increased automation. According to the Lightcast report, AI-powered tools are replacing roles in software engineering, IT support, and administrative services. Microsoft alone has announced 15,000 job cuts, even as it commits $80 billion to AI investments. As of the latest figures cited by the study, up to 80,000 tech jobs have been impacted by layoffs driven by AI integration. The share of AI jobs within IT and computer science has dropped from 61% in 2019 to 49% in 2024, indicating a shift in where AI skills are in demand. As reported by Fortune, Lightcast noted a continuing decline in traditional tech roles and a simultaneous expansion of AI across other industries. AI job demand expands into non-tech sectors AI roles are no longer confined to Silicon Valley or computer science labs. In 2024, more than half of all job postings requiring AI skills were outside the tech industry. According to Lightcast data, marketing, education, HR, finance, manufacturing, and customer service have emerged as leading sectors integrating AI capabilities. Job postings mentioning generative AI skills outside IT and computer science rose 800% since 2022. Tools like ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and DALL-E have driven this increase, changing workflows in sectors such as marketing, design, and education. Lightcast's Vice President of Research, Innovation, and Talent Insights, Cole Napper, told Fortune that AI's spread across industries lacks a clear pattern and even includes the arts. Key AI-Related Labor Market Statistics from Lightcast Study Category Statistic / Figure Details Salary premium for AI-skilled roles 28% higher Equivalent to nearly $18,000 more per year outside tech sector Increase in salary with 2+ AI skills 43% premium AI-proficient candidates with multiple skills earn significantly more Job losses in tech due to AI Up to 80,000 jobs impacted Includes Microsoft's cut of 15,000 jobs Microsoft AI investment $80 billion Committed while cutting jobs Decline in AI jobs within IT & computer science From 61% in 2019 to 49% in 2024 Shows AI job demand moving beyond core tech roles Generative AI job postings growth (non-tech) 800% increase since 2022 Driven by tools like ChatGPT, DALL-E, and Microsoft Copilot Job postings mentioning generative AI (2024) 66,000+ Nearly 4× increase from previous year Large language modeling jobs (2024) 19,500 postings Second most common AI skill Top sectors seeing AI-driven pay increases Customer/client support, sales, manufacturing Non-tech sectors experiencing largest wage gains AI jobs outside tech sector More than 50% of all AI-skilled roles in 2024 Signals shift of AI adoption into broader US economy Generative AI and hybrid skills lead salary gains In 2024, over 66,000 job postings in the US mentioned generative AI skills, marking a nearly fourfold increase from the prior year. Other in-demand skills include large language modeling (present in 19,500 postings), ChatGPT, and prompt engineering. Lightcast data shows that workers with two or more AI-related skills see up to a 43% premium on advertised salaries. Sectors such as sales, customer support, and manufacturing are reporting the largest pay increases for AI-proficient workers. Christina Inge, founder of Thoughtlight, told Fortune that AI-fluent employees in customer service know how to write prompts, interpret AI outputs, and troubleshoot, adding that this hybrid expertise is "well worth the extra pay. " Soft skills remain essential in AI roles While technical skills remain important, AI-enabled roles also demand communication, leadership, and problem-solving abilities. According to the Lightcast report, these soft skills are among the top 10 most-requested in AI-related job postings, alongside machine learning and AI foundations. Fortune reported that Lightcast's findings suggest a shift toward enterprise-wide AI fluency, with companies training non-technical teams to integrate AI. Napper told Fortune there is a "cost to complacency," noting that workers who fail to adapt risk significant salary disadvantages. Traditional tech shrinks as AI creates broader opportunity The report concludes that while traditional tech roles face automation-driven reductions, AI skills are driving new opportunities and higher wages in non-tech sectors. Lightcast plans to release further research on how these trends affect different income levels, as stated by Napper in his interview with Fortune. TOI Education is on WhatsApp now. Follow us here .

5 Windows settings I tweak on every new laptop to get more done faster
As someone who reviews multiple laptops, setting up a fresh machine each time gets a little repetitive. But over time, I have built a routine during setup that helps me get started faster. It also makes the device more efficient right from the start. Today, I am sharing these tricks with you so you can also make your Windows laptop experience much better. Setting up a new Windows laptop feels great, but not when you have to do it every few weeks. I discovered a simple trick to bypass the Microsoft account login screen. On the setup screen, press Shift + F10 to open Command Prompt. Then type oobe\bypassnro and press Enter. The laptop will reboot and return to the setup screen. When you reach the network setup stage this time, click 'I don't have internet' to create a local account. This saves time and avoids automatic sign-ins to all Microsoft apps. Trackpad gestures significantly boost productivity, especially when working with many browser tabs. I set the three-finger tap to act as the middle mouse button, which is ideal for opening links in new tabs and quickly closing them. I also customise the four-finger swipe up/down gestures to control volume. To do this, go to Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Touchpad > Advanced gestures. There, you can modify the three-finger and four-finger gestures to suit your workflow. You can also assign a four-finger tap to play/pause music and use four-finger left/right swipes to skip tracks. Most laptops come preloaded with bloatware that consumes storage and system resources, eventually slowing performance. You can uninstall these apps using a powerful uninstall tool called Revo Uninstaller. I recommend using this tool very carefully, as it can also uninstall system apps that may be important for Windows to function properly. Many laptops I review feature QHD+ or 4K resolutions, and default scaling often wastes valuable screen space. Adjusting the scaling greatly improves productivity by allowing more content to fit in apps and enhancing split-screen efficiency. To adjust, right-click on the desktop and select Display settings. Scroll down to Scale and layout, then adjust the scaling percentage. I typically reduce it to 125% or even 100%, depending on the display size and resolution. Most people don't realise this, but Delivery Optimisation quietly runs in the background and can slow things down. It's supposed to speed up updates by sharing them with other PCs over the internet, but in reality, it ends up using bandwidth and system resources. I always disable it right after setup. To do this, go to Settings > Windows Update > Advanced options > Delivery Optimisation, and turn it off.

Microsoft Tests AI Copilot Mode in Edge Browser to Simplify Web Browsing
Microsoft is rolling out an experimental new feature in its Edge browser called Copilot Mode, an AI-powered assistant designed to help users manage everyday browsing tasks more efficiently. Aimed at cutting down time spent on repetitive web actions, this feature is now being tested and is currently free to use, though Microsoft has hinted it might eventually be part of a paid plan. With Copilot Mode, users gain access to a smart assistant that can compare prices across multiple tabs, help with restaurant bookings, or summarize information spread across various web pages. Appearing on the new tab screen, the feature uses a familiar chat-style interface, letting users interact via text or voice. This means you can now simply speak to your browser to open tabs, search within sites, or find products for comparison without manual navigation. Microsoft emphasizes that this tool is completely optional and built with user privacy in mind. 'Copilot will soon be able to guide you in your tasks and organise your browsing — past and present — into helpful, topic-based journeys,' said Sean Lyndersay, Vice President of Product for Microsoft Edge. He added, 'With Copilot Mode, you can also choose to turn the experience on and off as you wish through your Edge settings. If you choose not to turn on Copilot Mode, you can continue to browse on Edge as usual.' One of the standout elements of Copilot Mode is its ability to integrate deeper with a user's browsing data — but only with permission. Microsoft says that, with user consent, Copilot may access browsing history and saved login information in the future to make tasks like form filling and online bookings more seamless. To maintain transparency, Microsoft is implementing visible cues to indicate when Copilot is active in the background, ensuring users are always aware of the AI's presence and actions. While still in early stages, Copilot Mode is expected to evolve, with more features being introduced based on user feedback and usage patterns. This launch aligns with a broader industry trend of integrating AI into web browsers. Google, for instance, is testing AI-assisted search features in Chrome, while emerging platforms like Comet from Perplexity AI are also experimenting with similar technology. Microsoft's Copilot Mode is part of its wider strategy to enhance productivity and user experience across its product suite. Although usage is currently free, Microsoft has placed limits on how extensively the tool can be used, suggesting that a subscription model may be introduced down the line. For now, users who want to try out a smarter, more interactive way to browse can activate Copilot Mode from Edge's settings — and those who prefer the traditional experience can simply opt out.
