How this works
Every posting aggregated by this board is scanned for AI signals. A posting counts as an AI-native role when its title is explicitly about machine learning or LLM work, the hiring company is an AI-first lab, or the description is saturated with AI engineering terms.
Separately we track how often any posting merely mentions AI — a slow but visible seep of AI into ordinary dev jobs.
Honest caveat: keywords are a proxy, not ground truth. The index measures what companies write, which is still the best public signal of where demand is heading.
