In a fierce artificial intelligence talent war, AI wields dual roles—as a job creator and disruptor; causing layoffs yet opening doors to skilled individuals for as much as $900,000 a year.
Entertainment and manufacturing industries, including Netflix, Amazon, Accenture, Walmart, Procter & Gamble, Goldman Sachs, and several others, are looking to secure the expertise of top-tier professionals by offering seven-figure salaries. A college degree is not a requirement.
Streaming giant Netflix beckons machine learning platform (MLP) managers in a jaw-dropping $300,000 to $900,000 salary range, valuing AI prowess. Responsibilities involve shaping Netflix’s AI landscape and measuring MLP impact, among others.
Similarly, Amazon is also offering a senior manager opening in applied science and generative AI, with an annual salary of up to $340,300. Walmart is hiring for its conversational AI team that entitles the person to a base salary of $168,000 to $252,000 annually.
Accenture is keen on hiring AI talent and building expertise through internal training programs.
Look out
As artificial intelligence faces criticism for causing numerous job cuts, tech companies are vying for talented personnel who can help them with AI.
Prompt engineer and MLP engineer are a few of the most common AI-related roles companies are looking for. Their average total compensation ranges from $130,000 to $143,589 annually, says a survey by Willis Towers Watson.
Recruiters say qualified talent that would help companies adopt the tech is falling short of demand.
