Emerging trends in AI skill demand across 14 OECD countries
This report analyses the demand for positions that require skills needed to develop
or work with AI systems across 14 OECD countries between 2019 and 2022. It finds that,
despite rapid growth in the demand for AI skills, AI-related online vacancies comprised
less than 1% of all job postings and were predominantly found in sectors such as ICT
and Professional Services. Skills related to Machine Learning were the most sought
after. The US-focused part of the study reveals a consistent demand for socio-emotional,
foundational, and technical skills across all AI employers. However, leading firms
– those who posted the most AI jobs – exhibited a higher demand for AI professionals
combining technical expertise with leadership, innovation, and problem-solving skills,
underscoring the importance of these competencies in the AI field.
