Autodesk today released its first AI Jobs Report, offering a detailed look at how artificial intelligence is reshaping the workforce across Design and Make industries—including architecture, engineering, construction, product design, manufacturing, media and entertainment. The findings show that AI-driven job growth remains strong in 2025, with emerging roles, new skill demands and regional shifts redefining what it means to be ready for the future of work.
Autodesk’s AI Jobs Report makes one thing clear: the future of work isn’t waiting. It’s here and moving quickly. The winners in this AI-driven economy will be the ones who can merge tech fluency with human creativity, ethics and leadership.
Conducted in partnership with research firm GlobalData, the report analysed nearly 3 million job listings across a two-year period and identified four major workforce trends:
- Mentions of AI in general job listings have skyrocketed: up 114.8% in 2023, up 120.6% in 2024, and up 56.1% year to date in 2025, signaling AI capabilities are no longer confined to technical or specialised roles
- Fluency in AI is quickly becoming a core requirement for career longevity across industries
- The data also shows that technical and non-technical AI roles are growing at similar rates. Listings for AI Engineer (+143.2%) and AI Solutions Architect (+109.3%) surged year over year—tracking closely with non-technical roles like AI Content Creator (+134.5%)
