Jobs Requiring AI Skills Offer 28% Higher Salaries, Reveals Study

A new report from labour market intelligence firm Lightcast has revealed that jobs requiring artificial intelligence (AI) skills now offer salaries nearly $18,000 higher than similar roles without AI knowledge—a 28% pay boost on average.
The report titled ‘Beyond the Buzz: Developing the AI Skills Employers Actually Need’ is based on over 1.3 billion job postings and shows that AI is reshaping hiring across industries.
More than half of job listings that ask for AI skills now come from outside of IT or computer science roles, marking a shift in how organisations across marketing, finance, HR and even education are adopting AI. Since 2022, generative AI roles in non-tech sectors have grown by 800%.
“Companies that continue treating AI as a niche technical skill will find themselves competing for talent with organisations that have embedded AI literacy across their entire workforce,” Cole Napper, VP of research, innovation and talent insights at Lightcast, said.
He added that educators who wait and see what impact AI will have will find that they’ve lost students and funding to other providers who include AI skills across programs, not in place of other skills, but alongside them.
The report highlights that specific AI-related skills, unlike general familiarity, are driving job growth and value. It introduces a framework that categorises skills based on their growth, importance in the workforce and vulnerability to being replaced by AI. This aims to help educators and employers target training programs more effectively.
Lightcast’s report highlights how demand for AI skills is spreading across five key sectors. In marketing and PR, 8% of job postings now require AI skills, with rapid growth particularly among SEO roles. Human resources is leading the shift, showing a 66% increase in AI-related job listings, driven largely by talent acquisition.
In the finance sector, AI demand has jumped 40%, especially in roles like quantitative analysts. The science and research sector already shows strong integration of specialised AI capabilities, while education and training, although currently lagging, is seeing a 200% surge in generative AI skills that indicates a fast-approaching transformation in how educators prepare future professionals.
While several reports speculate on AI’s future impact, Lightcast says its research focuses on real-time data on what’s happening today in job markets around the world.

NVIDIA Reveals Two Customers Accounted for 39% of Quarterly Revenue

NVIDIA disclosed on August 28, 2025, that two unnamed customers contributed 39% of its revenue in the July quarter, raising questions about the chipmaker’s dependence on a small group of clients.
The company posted record quarterly revenue of $46.7 billion, up 56% from a year ago, driven by insatiable demand for its data centre products.
In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), NVIDIA said “Customer A” accounted for 23% of total revenue and “Customer B” for 16%. A year earlier, its top two customers made up 14% and 11% of revenue.
The concentration highlights the role of large buyers, many of whom are cloud service providers. “Large cloud service providers made up about 50% of the company’s data center revenue,” NVIDIA chief financial officer Colette Kress said on Wednesday. Data center sales represented 88% of NVIDIA’s overall revenue in the second quarter.
“We have experienced periods where we receive a significant amount of our revenue from a limited number of customers, and this trend may continue,” the company wrote in the filing.
One of the customers could possibly be Saudi Arabia’s AI firm Humain, which is building two data centers in Riyadh and Dammam, slated to open in early 2026. The company has secured approval to import 18,000 NVIDIA AI chips.
The second customer could be OpenAI or one of the major cloud providers — Microsoft, AWS, Google Cloud, or Oracle. Another possibility is xAI.
Previously, Elon Musk said xAI has 230,000 GPUs, including 30,000 GB200s, operational for training its Grok model in a supercluster called Colossus 1. Inference is handled by external cloud providers.
Musk added that Colossus 2, which will host an additional 550,000 GB200 and GB300 GPUs, will begin going online in the coming weeks. “As Jensen Huang has stated, xAI is unmatched in speed. It’s not even close,” Musk wrote in a post on X.Meanwhile, OpenAI is preparing for a major expansion. Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar said the company plans to invest in trillion-dollar-scale data centers to meet surging demand for AI computation.

‘Reliance Intelligence’ is Here, In Partnership with Google and Meta

Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani has announced the launch of Reliance Intelligence, a new wholly owned subsidiary focused on artificial intelligence, marking what he described as the company’s “next transformation into a deep-tech enterprise.”
Addressing shareholders, Ambani said Reliance Intelligence had been conceived with four core missions—building gigawatt-scale AI-ready data centres powered by green energy, forging global partnerships to strengthen India’s AI ecosystem, delivering AI services for consumers and SMEs in critical sectors such as education, healthcare, and agriculture, and creating a home for world-class AI talent.
Work has already begun on gigawatt-scale AI data centres in Jamnagar, Ambani said, adding that they would be rolled out in phases in line with India’s growing needs.
These facilities, powered by Reliance’s new energy ecosystem, will be purpose-built for AI training and inference at a national scale.
Ambani also announced a “deeper, holistic partnership” with Google, aimed at accelerating AI adoption across Reliance businesses.
“We are marrying Reliance’s proven capability to build world-class assets and execute at India scale with Google’s leading cloud and AI technologies,” Ambani said.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai, in a recorded message, said the two companies would set up a new cloud region in Jamnagar dedicated to Reliance.
“It will bring world-class AI and compute from Google Cloud, powered by clean energy from Reliance and connected by Jio’s advanced network,” Pichai said.
He added that Google Cloud would remain Reliance’s largest public cloud partner, supporting mission-critical workloads and co-developing advanced AI initiatives.
Ambani further unveiled a new AI-focused joint venture with Meta.
He said the venture would combine Reliance’s domain expertise across industries with Meta’s open-source AI models and tools to deliver “sovereign, enterprise-ready AI for India.”
Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, in his remarks, said the partnership is aimed to bring open-source AI to Indian businesses at scale.
“With Reliance’s reach and scale, we can bring this to every corner of India. This venture will become a model for how AI, and one day superintelligence, can be delivered,” Zuckerberg said.
Ambani also highlighted Reliance’s investments in AI-powered robotics, particularly humanoid robotics, which he said could transform manufacturing, supply chains and healthcare.
“Intelligent automation will create new industries, new jobs and new opportunities for India’s youth,” he told shareholders.
Calling AI an opportunity “as large, if not larger” than Reliance’s digital services push a decade ago, Ambani said Reliance Intelligence would work to deliver “AI everywhere and for every Indian.”
“We are building for the next decade with confidence and ambition,” he said, underscoring that the company’s partnerships, green infrastructure and India-first governance approach would be central to this strategy.
