Evidence-Based, Not Self-Reported
The hiring figures in this brief are drawn from public job advertisements, not surveys or self-reported AI claims. A posting with a salary band is a budget commitment, which makes it harder to fake than a press release or an earnings-call mention.
Data-Driven
Built from observable hiring activity across the S&P 500.
Independent
No proprietary access and no commercial bias in the dataset.
Objective
Public LinkedIn postings, classified by AI relevance and seniority.
Where This Data Comes From
The hiring figures in this brief are drawn from a single channel of the AIDE Index, Job Advertisements, one of six evidence channels in the Index’s Orientation pillar. The same collection effort also measures leadership AI literacy and advocacy, corporate strategy, partnerships, patents, and deployed AI across all four pillars, so the labor-market signal reported here is one slice of a far larger evidence base.
Literacy
What leaders know about AI
Advocacy
What leaders say about AI
Orientation
What the company is prioritizing
Implementation
What the company has built
