An end-of-the-year opportunity has come if you are a tech expert looking for a job in AI. The most significant tech role in the industry is now open as OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, has gone viral once again with a superb job opening. The big ChatGPT boss, Sam Altman, has announced a new role within the company that comes with a reported annual salary of $555,000 (approx. £412,000), with a caveat: equity options.
Importantly, this is not just another high-paying tech job. It shows a huge admission of the coming from advanced AI systems and a shocking decision by OpenAI to battle those worries head-on. This is because, as the capabilities of AI models develop, so do questions about safety, ethics, cybersecurity and massive impacts on society. Altman's announcement shows that OpenAI is preparing for a future where these questions must be answered by expert leadership, not just random tech heads.
