Recent advances in artificial intelligence promise to change or render obsolete millions of jobs. While this prospect raises fears among employees, it is also prompting some to anticipate this evolution in the job market by applying for vacancies that mention AI.

This surprising trend is highlighted in a new LinkedIn report. Its authors found that recruitment ads alluding to this booming technology particularly attract the attention of job seekers. Over the past two years, they have seen 17% greater growth in the number of applications than those not mentioning AI. This progression proves that AI is a hot topic in the workforce.
