Axios: “San Jose, Seattle and San Francisco are the country’s AI job hotspots, a new analysis finds — though some other perhaps more surprising metros round out the top 10. Why it matters: As AI emerges as the hottest new thing in tech, cities outside Silicon Valley have a chance to get in on the action — and reap the potentially lucrative economic rewards. How it works: The estimates come by way of UMD-LinkUp, a collaboration between the University of Maryland, job listings platform LinkUp and consultancy/executive firm Outrigger Group.

• The researchers are using AI language models to sift through LinkUp job listings for AI jobs, defined as those that require technical skills to either create or use AI models.
• Their use of AI significantly enhances their accuracy compared to traditional keyword filtering, the researchers say.
