In the last five years, over 20 new occupations officially recognized by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security are closely tied to artificial intelligence, with more than 40% of them directly aligning with future industries.
This year, the ministry plans to add another 12 new professions, including embodied intelligent robotics application technicians, and introduce new job types such as intelligent agent development specialists.
While technology empowers industries, the technical expertise required for many roles is also increasing. Beyond frontline AI engineers, demand for the new position of "frontline deployment engineer" is experiencing explosive growth.
Recruitment data further confirms the shortage of AI talent. In the first half of the year, the number of companies hiring in the AI sector grew by 24.8% year-over-year, while the number of open positions increased by 10.6%.
The supply-demand ratio for AI engineers reached 2.62, and demand for AI intelligent agent development talent surged by 244% compared to the same period last year.
