The proportion of beverage companies hiring for ‘Artificial Intelligence’-related positions fell back last month, according to recently-released figures.

A total of 42.4% of the companies included in GlobalData’s analysis were recruiting for at least one position in the area in March. The figure represents a decline on the 46.7% level for AI-related vacancies a year earlier. In February this year, the rate was higher – albeit only slightly – at 43.8%.

Of all advertised positions in the global beverage industry in March, 2.3% were linked to artificial intelligence, the highest monthly figure recorded in the past year and up the 1.2% proportion in the same month of 2021.

However, beverage companies are hiring for AI jobs at a lower rate than the average for all companies in GlobalData's job analytics database, which stood at 3.4%.
