Careers in Artificial Intelligence


We are starting to redefine how software and systems are built, what can be programmed, and how users interact. We are creating a world where machines are starting to understand and anticipate what we want to do – and, in the future, will do it for us. In short, we are on the cusp of a completely new computing paradigm i.e. Artificial Intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence, which is often abbreviated as AI, is a branch of computer science that deals with the study of making computers, software, devices and machines think and behave intelligently just like humans do in order to save time and reduce human efforts.

Artificial Intelligence is most commonly used in self-driving cars, speech and voice recognition (such as google assistant, amazon alexa, cortana), chatbots, strategic games (chess, tic tac toe, go, poker), analysing big data etc.

Artificial Intelligence Applications and Examples
Virtual Personal Assistants - Basically, in this a huge amount of data is collected from a variety of sources to learn about users. Also, one needs to be more effective in helping them organize and track their information.

Video Games - Generally, we are use AI—since the very first video games.

SIRI - Basically, machine Learning technology is used by Siri users. Also, they use it to get understand natural language questions and requests.

TESLA - Tesla is something you are missing if you are a car geek. Also, this is one of the best automobiles available until now.

Career Prospects
Opportunity in AI, predicting that within the next two to three years, AI "will create more jobs than it eliminates." The consultancy even pegs some actual numbers to its prediction: 2.3 million jobs created by 2020, versus 1.8 million lost. The industries that will see the most gains are healthcare, the public sector and education, while manufacturing will see some job losses due to AI.

Demand for artificial intelligence and machine learning experts are on the rise globally despite a fear that AI will eat away at many jobs. The rate at which global companies are hiring gives us a different picture. The technological advancement is still creating more positions as companies need high-skilled AI talents to develop and maintain a wide range of applications. According to Indeed, employers demand for AI talents has more than doubled over the past three years and the number of job postings as a share of all job postings has increased by 119 percent.

Income
Accordingly, the average salary of AI professionals in India across industries is quite attractive. A 2-4 years experience commands a salary of ₹ 15 - ₹20 lacs per annum, while for 4-8 years it is ₹ 20 - ₹ 50 lacs per annum and for 8-15 years it is ₹ 50 lacs - ₹  1 crore per annum.
