According to a recent report, artificial intelligence (AI) is gradually taking over the creation of internet content. Surprisingly, more than half of the newly generated content is now created by AI. This trend reflects the growing importance of AI in the technology field. Although some believe that AI could lead to mass unemployment, survey data shows that the demand for technical talent remains stable, especially in the United States, where technology companies are showing a significant increase in their need for skilled workers.

According to two surveys by ManpowerGroup and UpWork, the future outlook for hiring is relatively optimistic. Experis' survey showed that nearly 40% of global technology employers plan to hire more employees this quarter, especially in the United States, where 58% of employers said they will increase hiring. Although technical hiring in the United States has slightly declined, it remains a bright spot in the labor market. The survey also indicated that 24% of employers stated their hiring is to keep up with digital transformation, particularly the development of AI.
However, the challenge for technology companies lies in the supply of talent and the match of skills. 41% of technology employers said they have difficulty finding the right talent. Although recruitment plans in the IT services industry have increased, recruitment in the semiconductor industry is expected to decline.
At the same time, data from UpWork shows that as companies move deeper into AI, they are increasingly relying on contract workers to provide oversight and quality assurance. Especially in small and medium-sized enterprises, the demand for project management skills has significantly increased, indicating that companies are adapting to the changes brought about by AI.
In the past month, the demand for AI-related skills has significantly increased, including Python programming, video editing, and digital marketing. Notably, the demand for data entry services has rebounded, showing that companies are placing greater emphasis on basic human skills.
