Where the numbers come from
Roles are read from the employers' own career pages and re-checked daily; a role that comes down at the source leaves this list at the next sync. A role counts as AI when its title names AI or machine learning work (ML engineer, AI engineer, LLM and generative AI engineer, MLOps, applied and research scientist in AI, forward deployed engineer, AI product manager, AI infrastructure and AI data engineer). What a posting says about sponsorship is read from its own text. Reposting sites and exact duplicate postings are left out. Nothing is estimated.
