How to read it
- A posting counts as an AI job if it lists at least one of the 300-plus AI skills in Lightcast’s taxonomy. Shares are of all online job postings Lightcast collects in each country.
- The AI Index splits the 22 countries into two charts by level; the other 11 are in the companion chart. Series for Hong Kong, Chile and the UAE start in 2020, and for Luxembourg, Spain and Poland in 2018.
- Lightcast revises historical counts, so earlier values may differ from previous AI Index editions.
