AI skills required for 4 out of 10 graduate jobs in China, says recruitment portal

Chinese companies are seeking more fresh university graduates with backgrounds in Artificial Intelligence this year because widespread use of the technology is making their businesses more efficient, according to a recruitment portal based in Beijing.In the first five months of this year, nearly four out of every 10 job postings targeting fresh graduates were AI-related, compared with nearly three out of 10 in the same period last year, Maimai – a portal with 120 million users in mainland China – said on Thursday.“AI has driven disparities in operational efficiencies across companies,” Maimai founder and CEO Lin Fan said in Hangzhou. “Against this backdrop, competition for AI and embodied AI talent has taken centre stage across the entire recruitment market.”
