Jonathan Cornelissen (DataCamp): State of AI Careers Report

DataCamp co-founder and CEO Jonathan Cornelissen introduces the company's State of AI careers report releasing that day: data and AI job openings are up ~80% year over year, AI engineer roles are up 200-300%, and SQL, Python, and communication skills remain top requirements. He calls the 'AI takes all jobs' narrative a violation — the most AI-exposed roles are actually growing fastest — though hiring for people aged 22-25 is slightly down because companies chasing ROI prioritize domain expertise combined with AI skills. He predicts the junior-hiring slowdown will prove a mistake, pointing to AI-native young talent at startups adapting fastest.
