Good lord, AI engineers get paid a median salary of $243,500, while non-AI engineers only get paid a median of $166,750, how can it be so much more? Is it because AI jobs are more concentrated in big tech?
- aerio 3y agoThere are way more non-AI engineers than actual AI-engineers.
- WinLychee 3y agoThe knowledge is harder to come by, and the field is (relatively) new. You need a fusion of data engineering, math, software engineering, and data analysis. Plus the ability to read and implement esoteric papers hot off the press, or in some cases innovate a new technique/module/architecture that hasn't been done before. Oh, and you need to be able to do all the above _quickly_. What's nice about it versus SWE is that you can totally ship hot garbage, doesn't have to be optimal at all, just "fast enough" and cheap enough.
