Mapping the Privacy Workforce in the AI Era
summary
Researchers scrape about 2,000 postings, clean to 1,143 job postings, and apply NLP and BERT topic modeling to map titles, skills, pay, and AI ties. Findings show no single title, top roles include privacy counsel, analyst, manager and privacy engineer, average salary about $146,000, IAPP certifications (CIPP/CIPM/CIPT) dominate, STEM backgrounds lead, interpersonal skills outrank coding, and crucially 51% of postings explicitly link privacy to AI governance.
