AI job postings surge 23% in January

January demand nearly doubled compared to figures from a year earlier.

Demand for artificial intelligence-related skills has nearly doubled in January, but firms aren't investing in proper tools, risking data leaks.

Job postings mentioning artificial intelligence surged 23% in January, nearly twice that of a year earlier, capturing demand for AI-related skills, a report from Indeed Singapore revealed.

Around two-thirds of job postings in data & analytics roles mention artificial intelligence, ahead of around half in software development, 38% in scientific research and 38% in industrial engineering.

Usage has become more broad-based over the past year, with 53% of occupational categories in January having at least 10% of job postings mentioning AI, compared to 27% a year ago.

The report reflects how much workers are now leaning on AI. A separate report by Qualtrics 68% frequently use it at work, and 57% feel hopeful or excited about AI. 41% say AI enables them to accomplish things they previously couldn’t do.

However, the report reveals a gap in organisational technology investment. Only 14% strictly use company-provided AI tools. This means most are using what is called shadow AI, or unauthorised AI tools, running the risk of data leaks.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
