Tampa Bay is among the country's AI job hotspots, a new analysis finds.
Why it matters: As AI emerges as the hottest new thing in tech, cities outside Silicon Valley can get in on the action — and reap the potentially lucrative economic rewards.
How it works: The estimates come from UMD-LinkUp, a collaboration between the University of Maryland, job listings platform LinkUp and consultancy/executive firm Outrigger Group.
The researchers are using AI language models to sift through LinkUp listings for AI jobs, defined as those requiring technical skills to create or use AI models.
Their use of AI significantly enhances their accuracy compared to traditional keyword filtering, the researchers say.
