02:49Full Transcript
[00:01] For years, people have been asking one big question, will AI take away our jobs? But there's another side to this. AI is also creating new careers that barely existed a few years ago. For example, if we consider AI trainers, their job is to review AI responses, correct
[00:18] mistakes, label data, and basically help the model learn what a good answer looks like. In India, these roles can pay around 3 to 10 lakh rupees a year, while in the US, salaries can range from roughly $40,000 to $100,000 or more. Then you have prompt engineers. They don't just type random
[00:37] questions into ChatGPT. They test different instructions, build prompt systems, and figure out how to get more accurate and reliable results from AI tools. In India, salaries can range around 5 to 13 lakh rupees, while US roles can go from about $70,000 to $170,000 or higher. Another
[00:56] Another growing role is the AI automation engineer. These people connect AI with tools like email, CRMs, APIs, and internal software. For example, they might build a system that reads a customer email, updates Salesforce,
[01:10] and drafts a reply automatically. In India, that can mean around 4 to 11 lakh rupees a year, while US salaries can reach roughly $70,000 to $160,000.
[01:22] Then there are AI product managers. They decide what an AI product should actually do what problem it should solve and how engineers and designers should build it Salaries in India can range around 18 to 40 lakh rupees
[01:35] while in the US they can reach about 80,000 to 220,000 dollars or more. AI consultants work more on the business side. A company might bring them in and ask, where can we actually use AI
[01:48] without wasting money? They study the workflow, suggest use cases, and help teams implement them. In India, salaries can range around 10 to 40 lakhs, while in the US, around $84,000 to $205,000 or more.
[02:04] Then you have machine learning engineers. These are the people building and deploying the models, behind recommendations and forecasting, fraud detection and other AI systems. In India, they can earn around 9 to 15 lakh rupees, while US salaries often fall around $100,000 to $300,000 or more.
[02:22] The interesting part is that you don't need to start from zero for all of these roles. If you already code, machine learning, automation or AI security could make sense. If you're stronger in business, product management or consulting may fit better.
[02:37] And if you're good at working with AI tools and testing how they respond, prompt engineering or AI training could be a good entry point. So the better question may not be, will AI take my job?
[02:49] It might be, which new AI role can I move into with the skills I already have? Subscribe to Simply Learn for more such insights.
