Most AI-specific roles that are open to jobseekers are predominantly centred between London, Cambridge and Reading, according to a new study from online job board Glassdoor.

Glassdoor referred to the three cities as a new “golden triangle” for tech jobs. Its study is based on the analysis of millions of open UK jobs on Glassdoor and identifies AI-specific jobs by counting any role containing "artificial intelligence", "AI", or "deep learning" in the job title listed by the employer.

According to Glassdoor, 49% of posted AI-specific jobs are in London, with 17% in Cambridge and 4% in Reading.

"AI and deep learning will soon provide the key to unlocking the UK's productivity gap. However, widespread adoption of AI has a long way to go, with our analysis revealing that AI jobs are in fact a small but growing part of the current workforce," Andrew Chamberlain, Glassdoor chief economist, said.

"Machines certainly won't be taking your job anytime soon,” Chamberlain said. “We're now seeing workers team up with AI, using it as a tool to be more productive by taking away some of the low-value aspects of a role. Workers across all sectors should realise they will more likely collaborate with AI than be replaced by it."

The most common AI job open was AI software engineer, which makes up 24% of UK AI online job openings. This was followed by AI data scientist (14%), AI research scientist (8%) and AI software developer (4%).
