Where exactly are all the AI jobs?
By: Paige Gross | Kansas Reflector
The desire for artificial intelligence skills in new hires has exploded over the last five years, and continues to be a priority for hiring managers across nearly every industry, data from Stanford University’s annual AI Index Report found.
In 2023, 1.6% of all United States-based jobs required AI skills, a slight dip from the 2% posted in 2022. The decrease comes after many years of growing interest in artificial intelligence, and is likely attributed to hiring slowdowns, freezes or layoffs at major tech companies like Amazon, Deloitte and Capital One in 2023, the report said.
The numbers are still greatly up from just a few years ago, and in 2023, thousands of jobs across every industry required AI skills.
What do those AI jobs look like? And where are they based, exactly?
AI Discovers the Quantum Code: Revolutionizing Chemistry
by Hayley Dunning, Imperial College London | SciTechDaily
New research using neural networks, a form of brain-inspired AI, proposes a solution to the tough challenge of modeling the states of molecules.
A new study by Imperial College and Google DeepMind introduces a neural network-based method to model molecular excited states. This method could significantly enhance the accuracy of computational chemistry, aiding the development of new materials and technologies through simulations before actual laboratory experimentation.
The research shows how the technique can help solve fundamental equations in complex molecular systems.
This could lead to practical uses in the future, helping researchers to prototype new materials and chemical syntheses using computer simulation before trying to make them in the lab.
The study, led by Imperial College London and Google DeepMind scientists, was published on August 23 in the journal Science.
What exactly are 'forever chemicals'—and can we move beyond them?
by Bangle Wu and Ehsan Nabavi | Phys.org
The Australian parliament will conduct a national inquiry into the dangers of "forever chemicals."
The move comes after a string of revelations about the potential dangers of the substances, including news this week that Sydney Water has detected the chemicals in the city's drinking water sources. Independent senator Lidia Thorpe, who led the push for a parliamentary inquiry, described these chemicals as the "asbestos of the 21st century—far more prevalent and far less understood."

August 2024 Supermoon Rises Near NASA Marshall
A super blue Moon rises over Huntsville, Alabama, home to NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center and the U.S. Space and Rocket Center, Aug. 19. Visible through Wednesday, Aug. 21, the full Moon is both a supermoon and a Blue Moon. As the Moon reaches its closest approach to Earth, the Moon looks larger in the night sky with supermoons becoming the biggest and brightest full Moons of the year. While not blue in color, the third full Moon in a season with four full Moons is called a “Blue Moon.”
Huntsville is known as the “Rocket City” because of its proximity to NASA Marshall, which manages vital propulsion systems and hardware, engineering technologies, cutting-edge science, and launch vehicles for Apollo, shuttle, and Artemis. (NASA/Michael DeMocker)
