Artificial intelligence skills are increasingly in demand from employers, but companies are not always inclined to pay a premium for workers who possess them.
In short, AI proficiency alone isn't enough for workers and job seekers to command a pay bump or bonus, according to new data from Payscale, a provider of compensation insights.
More than 60% of companies that Payscale surveyed have updated their job listings to show they're looking for workers with an AI edge, according to the company's 2026 Compensation Best Practices Report. While a majority of employers say workers should know how to maximize performance and productivity through AI, most of them — 55% — are not offering premiums, bonuses or equity for workers with strong AI skills.
Only 14% of employers offer higher base pay for AI-savvy workers, while 10% offer bonuses and 9% offer other types of long-term incentives, according to the report.
"While these skills are valuable, the data shows that HR teams are not yet using pay differentials to reward these specialized skills," the report states.
