Nathan Benaich’s State of AI has basically become the Mary Meeker’s Internet Trends for AI - an annual must read which gives a comprehensive overview covering investment, innovation, application and regulation landscape. It’s a monstrous 163 pdf slide deck (love to see Nathan deliver this 🤣) but given that AI a force multiplier for every field we care about, it is a mandatory read for everyone here. H/T to brainfooder Martyn Redstone for the share in the online community
2. State of Tech Salaries 2023Main themes of the annual report from Hired confirms what recruiters know on-the-ground: tech salary drop (in real terms), which only happens during recessionary periods. Also tension between remote vs RTO, expected misalignment along the threat of AI disintermediation and the continuing shift of job location to lower cost of living, in-country centres. US / UK data only but I think these themes are probably global. Must read, download here
