Companies embracing AI the most are hiring more people - including entry-level, report finds

SMRTR summary

Companies heavily investing in AI are actually hiring more workers, not fewer, according to a new study by Ramp and Revelio Labs covering over 21,000 U.S. firms. "High-intensity" AI adopters — spending around $33.67 per employee monthly — grew their total headcount by 10.2% and entry-level jobs by 12%, suggesting that deep AI commitment drives growth rather than mass layoffs, potentially making AI-forward companies the safer career bet.
