AI talent mobility seen in high gear

As the domestic artificial intelligence market draws increasing capital inflow and gains more support as a key innovation driver, talent in the sector has shown signs of heightened mobility this year, according to data released by Maimai, a domestic recruitment platform.

As of July, 41.1 percent of employees at top AI companies in China had set their job status on the platform as "open to opportunities", indicating a strong willingness to switch jobs, said Maimai.

"February marked a pivotal turning point," said Yang Ying, director of business operations at Maimai. "Since then, the number of AI professionals who switched their status to 'open to opportunities' has surged noticeably."
