⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Artificial intelligence (AI) has been a focal point for both employers and job seekers during this year's spring recruitment season, as China's burgeoning AI and robotics industries are undergoing rapid development with high demand for quality human resources. According to data from major online recruitment platforms in China, the number of job seekers in the AI sector increased by 33.4 percent year-on-year so far in the spring recruiment season. The year-on-year growth rate for recruitment of robot algorithm engineers and debugging engineers both exceeded 30 percent. From the perspective of job requirements, 52 percent of robot algorithm engineer jobs require a master's or doctoral degree, while 45 percent require more than three years of work experience. At the same time, the market's demand for knowledge spreading and talent development of AI has surged, driving a year-on-year increase of 112.4 percent in recruitment for AI lectureships. At job fairs across the country, human resources in algorithm engineering and robot research and development are all sought after by companies. Leveraging their advantages of industrial clusters, cities like Hangzhou City of east China's Zhejiang Province and Shenzhen City of south China's Guangdong Province have become hubs for AI talent aggregation. At the first large-scale offline talent acquisition event in Hangzhou so far this spring, 830 companies offered 21,000 positions, with half of them focusing on AI algorithms and AI large model development. In order to attract high-tech talents, various cities across the country have rolled out a series of preferential policies. The Chengdu High-tech Zone in southwest China's Sichuan Province has launched a "settlement allowance for AI talent" program, while the state-level East Lake High-tech Development Zone in Wuhan City of central China's Hubei Province, widely known as Optics Valley of China (OVC), has included AI skills training in the "New Craftsman Plan".
