Unlock the Future: 5 High-Paying AI Jobs You’ve Never Heard Of That Will Change Everything

We keep hearing the same old scare: AI is coming for our jobs. From flipping burgers to delivering packages, it feels like the machines are gearing up to swipe our paychecks. But hold on—while it’s true that many everyday roles are on the chopping block, there’s a surprising twist. Not only are some jobs pretty much ‘AI proof,’ but there’s also a fresh batch of high-paying gigs that AI itself will actually CREATE for us humans. Imagine turning the tables and cashing in on the AI revolution instead of scrambling to keep up! Curious what these futuristic jobs look like and how empathetic humans might just have the upper hand? Let’s dive into the five roles that could pay you a fortune, all thanks to our robotic friends. LEARN MORE

We keep being told that artificial intelligence is going to take our jobs.

From fast food workers and receptionists to delivery drivers and warehouse workers, many jobs are at risk of being replaced by AI. Although, there are around 40 that are considered to be ‘AI proof’.

As well as job losses though, there’s also privacy and misinformation concerns surrounding the technology. Telling ChatGPT everything about your life, for example, isn’t really recommended.

But AI isn’t supposed to be a negative thing, and used in the right way it can help people do repetitive work a lot quicker, make travel arrangements easier and be your personal therapist.

But one key benefit that isn’t being talked about much is the potentially high-paying jobs it will create – for humans.

A recent report by Medium has revealed the ‘five jobs AI will create that don’t exist yet’ and they could earn you a massive payday.

AI Prompt Engineer for Emotions

The salary for this type of role is said to be around $300,000 a year, but what even is it?

Well, as AI tries to understand people more and more, companies will need humans to actually teach it emotions.

If you’re dealing with an AI therapist or trainer, you’re going to want a bit of empathy in there, as well as emotional understanding.

That blend of knowledge with a human touch is what the ultimate aim is for many products.

You may have seen those weird AI-generated influencers on Insta, well, designers might be tasked with actually building these virtual personalities by crafting backstories and voices for characters like workout trainers or streamers.

Scary, I know.

Ethical Algorithm Auditor

If you think about it, all the information that is tailor-made to you on many social media platforms is compiled via an algorithm.

But if that algorithm starts spitting out some biased/weird stuff, businesses may, or perhaps already are, hiring independent auditors to examine outcomes and ensure fairness in these complex machine learning systems.

Synthetic Memory Curator

I don’t think anyone thinks about AI having a memory span, and if it’s even capable of forgetting anything, ever.

A synthetic memory curator will need knowledge of data science, storytelling, and a general sense of mental health, to shape AI companions that guide personal experiences and conversations.

AI World Builder (in Real Life)

We all know that the GTA game developers are masters of creating virtual worlds, but soon, designers will need to build AI-powered real-world spaces, like smart classrooms, adaptive cities and homes that learn routines.

AI boffins, keep your eyes peeled.
