While AI will eliminate jobs, it will also create them, experts say. The Washington, D.C., region had almost 1,800 listings for AI-related jobs at the end of August, according to Jones Lang LaSalle. Leidos and Boeing were among the companies with the most openings for AI positions.
New roles are emerging, like “prompt engineers” who develop and refine prompts or queries for AI tools to get the most valuable and appropriate responses. At the end of September, OpenAI rival Anthropic was seeking a “prompt engineer and librarian” hybrid position in San Francisco with a salary range of $250,000 to $375,000.
