The top careers hiring for AI skills in Louisiana, according to job postings

The fastest-growing jobs today are driven by technology—and, increasingly, artificial intelligence. AI and machine learning specialists, for example, top the list of fastest-growing roles, according to a 2023 World Economic Forum survey of the world's largest companies.

Rising demand for AI-related jobs coincides with the introduction of generative AI and ChatGPT. These tools take prompts from human users and churn out answers in a fraction of the time it takes employees to perform the same tasks. Some can generate videos based on text inputs describing the video they want to be created. Others produce fantastical images of things that never actually existed. Popular stock photo provider Shutterstock recently launched an AI image generator of its own.

As a result, companies are seeking workers with expertise in using a rapidly-expanding arsenal of AI tools. According to job-posting data compiled by the workforce intelligence firm Revelio, engineering roles and those working with data ranked high in job postings where employers sought AI skills over the last year.

There's another interesting dimension to AI skills trends: geography. The largest share of postings for jobs that highlight AI skills comes from major cities on the U.S. coasts. But there are clusters of other AI-focused jobs spread across many states.

In Freshworks' analysis of Revelio's job posting data culled from several popular hiring platforms between January 2022 and March 2023, we've identified the top roles in Louisiana that highlight AI job skills.
