Axipro 对八个欧盟国家发布的 3,519 个与人工智能相关的职位进行了分析，结果显示招聘比例中每雇佣一名 AI 治理人员，就有近七人用于构建 AI[1]。此次调查覆盖了比利时、法国、德国、爱尔兰、意大利、荷兰、西班牙和瑞典 [1]。在各国具体数据方面，瑞典的差距最大，比例为 16:1；其次是法国的 11:1；而爱尔兰的比例最为平衡，为 3.5:1[1]。
尽管欧盟《人工智能法案》已生效并设定了严格的合规截止日期和罚款上限 [1]，但仅有不到三分之一的治理岗位描述中明确提及该法案，构建者相关职位的提及率则仅为 4%[1]。在人才分布上，近一半的 AI 治理角色来自员工超过 5,000 人的大型企业；相比之下，中小企业招聘量最少（占比不足 20%），却面临同等的法律义务 [1]。
根据法案规定，禁止某些实践的规定自 2025 年 2 月起生效；通用模型规则将于 2025 年 8 月生效；透明度义务于 2026 年 8 月 2 日生效；高风险系统的合规截止日为独立系统所在的 2027 年 12 月 2 日，或嵌入监管产品所在的 2028 年 8 月 2 日 [1]。违规罚款上限为最高 3,500 万欧元或全球营业额的 7%[1]。Axipro CEO 表示合规正成为产品特性，拥有现成文档的供应商将在交易中获胜；他建议中小企业应利用 ISO 27001、SOC 2 和 GDPR 现有框架进行准备 [1]。
Axipro's analysis of job postings across eight EU nations reveals a significant disparity between recruitment for artificial intelligence development and regulatory compliance roles, with the ratio standing at approximately seven developers to one governance hire [1]. The study examined data from Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and Sweden, identifying 3,519 AI-related positions in total: 446 dedicated to governance functions and 3,072 focused on building AI systems [1]. While overall hiring favored builders by a margin of roughly seven-to-one, specific national variations were observed; for instance, the ratio reached 16:1 in Sweden, stood at 11:1 in France, and was most balanced at 3.5:1 in Ireland [1].
Despite these recruitment trends occurring under the framework of the EU AI Act—which has entered into force with strict deadlines and fines capped at €35 million or 7% of global turnover—compliance awareness remains low among hiring managers [1]. Fewer than one-third of governance job descriptions explicitly mentioned the EU AI Act, while only 4% of builder roles referenced it [1]. The talent pool for compliance is heavily concentrated in large enterprises; nearly half of all governance positions are filled by employees from companies with more than 5,000 staff members [1]. Conversely, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which account for less than 20% of these hiring volumes, face the same legal obligations as their larger counterparts despite having fewer resources to recruit specialized talent [1].
Key implementation deadlines loom ahead: prohibited practices take effect in February 2025; general model rules apply from August 2025; transparency obligations begin on August 2, 2026; and compliance for high-risk systems is required by December 2, 2027 for standalone systems or August 2, 2028 for embedded regulatory products [1]. Addressing the challenge of meeting these requirements without a dedicated hiring surge, Axipro CEO advised that companies should leverage existing frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR to prepare their compliance strategies [1]. The executive further noted that in this evolving landscape, "compliance is becoming a product feature," suggesting that suppliers with ready-made documentation will gain an advantage in transactions [1]. Consequently, the report recommends SMEs utilize these established standards to accelerate their readiness for upcoming regulatory demands [1].
