AI’s impact on the tech job market is less disruptive than developers fear. In fact, so far it seems to be creating rather than destroying jobs, according to a new talent survey from the Linux Foundation.
Participants in the foundation’s new report were four times as likely to say that AI is increasing software development jobs as compared to decreasing them. When asked about AI’s impact on the technical workforce, 32% said it has increased the number of software development positions; only 8% cited a decline.
