...

The report, which drew data from 25 countries, found that Singapore has the highest “diffusion rate” — the share of members adding AI skills to their profiles grew 20 times from January 2016. 

That’s significantly higher than the global average of eight times, LinkedIn told CNBC Make It.

Finland (16x), Ireland (15x), India (14x), and Canada (13x) round out the top five countries with the highest rates of AI skills diffusion, according to the report. ...

  • Software engineer: 96% 
  • Customer service rep: 76%
  • Cashier: 59% 
  • Salesperson: 59% 
  • Teacher: 45% 
  • Event manager: 39% 

Just 3% of software engineers’ skills need to be performed by humans. ...
