Abstract

The growing popularity and evolving nature of artificial intelligence (AI) technology have significantly influenced numerous industries and sectors in contemporary society. Concurrently, there has been a noticeable shift towards AI-related majors in higher education. Given the diverse range of business disciplines, the question of whether business students should acquire AI skills in their career choices merits thorough examination. This study relies on salary report data compiled by Kaggle, encompassing 6,704 samples from surveys, job boards, and other public sources. Utilizing regression analysis and data virtualization techniques, the study objectively assesses the impact of AI technology on business operations and its subsequent effect on compensation. The findings reveal that, aside from master's degree holders, there exists a notable association between the salary of undergraduate and doctoral graduates and the extent of AI involvement in their work. Furthermore, the study identifies a correlation between educational level and salary. Additionally, across all business-related professions, personal work experience is found to have a greater influence on salary than educational qualifications.
