A study by the OECD and Lightcast found that few AI employers require ethical decision-making skills. Researchers checked AI job postings in 14 countries for terms like "AI ethics" and "responsible AI." They found that less than 2% of these postings mentioned these skills. However, from 2019 to 2022, the number of job postings with ethics-related keywords increased. For example, in the US, it rose from 0.1% to 0.5%, and in the UK, from 0.1% to 0.4%.
