Listen to the story

A new survey has found that only 2.34% of résumés in Brazil mention artificial intelligence (AI). The research was carried out by Hubble, a Brazilian company.

Artificial intelligence refers to computer systems that can perform tasks usually done by humans, such as learning and problem-solving. In recent years, AI has become an important part of many industries, from technology to finance.

Despite this growth, the survey shows that most Brazilian workers still do not mention AI skills when applying for jobs. This suggests a possible gap between what companies want and what job seekers offer.

The findings raise questions about how prepared the workforce in Brazil is for a future shaped by new technology. As more companies adopt AI tools, employees without related skills may find it harder to compete.

Experts often say that digital skills, including knowledge of AI, are becoming more important across many sectors. Workers who understand these tools may have an advantage in the job market.

The Hubble survey adds to a growing conversation about how education and training systems in Brazil can better prepare people for jobs that involve AI.

While the survey does not explain why so few résumés mention AI, it highlights a clear trend: most job seekers in Brazil are not yet presenting themselves as AI-skilled professionals.

This may change in the coming years, as more companies begin to require AI-related knowledge for new job openings.
