"A July report from labor data platform Lightcast found that advertised pay for AI work was 28% higher than non-AI postings for an average of $18,000 more per year. Interestingly, the report urged gig workers not to confuse "AI" with "tech," as more than half of open AI-related job postings were outside the fields of tech and computer science. However, tech skills are hardly obsolete."

This can include video, voice, graphic design, copywriting, photography, and podcast production and editing."
Economic uncertainty is driving more people to pursue side hustles, increasing demand for marketable professional skills. Advertised pay for AI roles is about 28% higher than non-AI roles, roughly $18,000 more annually. Many AI-related job openings appear outside traditional tech and computer science fields. Businesses are increasingly open to hiring freelancers to reduce costs and manage workloads, particularly during peak seasons. High-demand tech freelance skills include data science, data modelling, software development, cloud computing, and cybersecurity. Creative content skills—video, voice, design, copywriting, photography, podcast production—offer substantial earnings and growing marketing investment.
