The most in-demand AI job of 2023 can pay over $200,000 and offers remote opportunities
Nearly one year since ChatGPT was introduced to the world, the excitement surrounding generative artificial intelligence has hardly waned — especially in the job market.

Searches for generative AI jobs on Indeed have increased almost 4,000% in the last year, and openings for generative AI jobs are up 306% over the same period.

While the number of AI job postings on ZipRecruiter has fallen from the highs it saw in 2022, the sheer volume of available AI jobs on the platform is still "much, much greater" now than it was before the pandemic, says ZipRecruiter chief economist Julia Pollak.

The most sought-after AI job companies are hiring for isn't in engineering, as you might expect. Data scientist is the hottest AI job on the market right now.

In the last six months, it was the most-advertised AI job on Indeed and the second most-posted on ZipRecruiter, according to data exclusively shared with CNBC Make It.
