Artificial Intelligence has supplanted blockchain and cryptocurrency as the startup industry tech workers are most interested in joining, according to a new report from AngelList, a U.S.-based platform that connects startups with investors.
Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence was the top industry coveted in 2018 by the 8 million job seekers registered on the platform’s job board, AngelList Talent, the company announced Thursday.
“The amount of users searching for positions in AI was one of the biggest surprises of the year,” says Amit Matani, AngelList Talent’s CEO. “Another surprise was the decline of the Crypto Boom.”
