How this is measured
Every figure on this page is from live specs: roles open at the freeze, read through the Verellax pipeline and de-duplicated. Each role is read on whether it involves AI, whether AI sits at the centre of the work, and whether the role is accountable for what the model produces. Each measure's share is on the measure before it. A page publishes at 150 or more live specs. A cell under 30 prints its counts and no share; under 150 its count and base print beside its share. A sector cell inside a market publishes with 10 or more employers in it, and is held under that.
