The AI-specialist roles Australian employers are actually hiring for, ranked by 90-day advertisement volume. Salary bands, seniority mix, required skills, and where the hiring is concentrated. All sourced from live AI- and data-adjacent Australian job advertisements.
This is the AI-specialist view (ASDI), a strict subset of all AI-mentioning ads (ADI). Every advertisement counted here has already qualified for ASDI by the title or skills-taxonomy rules published on /methodology. The counts below are AI-specialist roles only and are not expected to equal the total advertised volume.
