Stock market today: Nasdaq closes above 23,000 for first time as tech rebounds
Investing.com -- Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) is ramping up its artificial intelligence hiring efforts with its largest recruitment drive to date as tech companies compete for limited talent in the growing AI sector, according to South China Morning Post.
The Beijing-based internet search company said that job openings in its annual AIDU recruitment initiative have increased by 60 percent this year, though the firm did not reveal the total number of positions available.
In a statement on Sunday reported on by SCMP, Baidu said it is looking for candidates across 23 of its core business areas and 11 research fields. These include large language model algorithms, foundational LLM architecture, machine learning, speech technologies, and AI agents.
"Baidu will train future AI navigators the way pilots are trained," the company stated, highlighting its focus on developing top AI professionals.
The expanded recruitment effort comes as technology companies in China face challenges finding qualified AI specialists to support their expanding artificial intelligence operations.
Baidu’s initiative, known as AIDU, specifically aims to attract and develop future leaders in AI technology as the company strengthens its position in the competitive tech landscape.
