Utah employers increasingly require AI skills
AI-related jobs are rebounding in Utah, according to an estimate of postings requiring AI skills. Why it matters: Amid lots of consternation about artificial intelligence taking people's jobs, at least some folks are finding new roles working with the emerging technology. How it works: These estimates come from UMD-LinkUp AI Maps, a collaboration between the University of Maryland, job listings platform LinkUp and Outrigger Group, a consultancy and executive firm. Fine print: The researchers involved are using AI to analyze job postings for metros, states and nationally. Zoom in: Researchers (or their computers) found 155 new Utah AI job postings in March — the highest since the peak in early 2022. • Most of those — 91 — were in Salt Lake County. • Utah had the nation's 17th highest share of job openings requiring AI skills relative to all job postings. Among metro areas, Salt Lake ranked 32nd. San Jose, California was the metro area with the largest share. The bottom line: If you're looking for one of these jobs, the country's long-standing tech hotspots are hard to beat — but D.C. and Dallas are promising, too.
