Do AI skills change information technology specialist pay?
For Engineering roles in general, as of November 9, 2026. This is the function’s figure, not one for information technology specialist alone: one title rarely has enough listings on both sides.
Among Engineering listings, those that ask for an AI skill advertise +19.1% (about $32.5k) compared with similar listings that do not, matched on level and industry.
- Listings that ask for an AI skill
- $209,000

Advertised pay only: the midpoint of the range an employer posted, on live U.S. postings read from the full text. “Asks for an AI skill” means the posting names a specific AI skill; “no AI” means it never mentions AI. A difference in what is advertised is not a promise of what you would be paid, and it does not show that learning a skill causes a raise.
