Shut up, the useless of reading! The annual salary of fresh doctors in the field of AI is as high as 800,000

The annual salary of fresh doctors in this field was 500,000 yuan last year, and this year it has soared to 800,000 yuan. Recently, at the 20th Talent High-Tech Fair held in Shenzhen, the salary issue of AI talents has attracted everyone's attention.

2017 is the first year of AI, the State Council issued the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan" in July last year, and the Ministry of Science and Technology also announced the establishment of the New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan Promotion Office in November last year. At this point, AI has risen to the national strategic level.

AI is an emerging industry, and huge demand brings a huge talent gap. It is understood that China's AI talents have been in a state of serious imbalance between supply and demand. In fact, not only in China, but also around the world, the distribution of AI talents is extremely uneven. According to the "2017 Global Artificial Intelligence Talent White Paper" released by Tencent Research Institute in December 2017, there are about 300,000 talents in the global AI field, but the market demand is in the millions, and there are 367 universities with artificial intelligence research directions around the world, and about 20,000 students graduate in the field of AI every year, which is far from meeting the market demand for talents. On this basis, relevant experts estimate that the talent demand gap in Chinese artificial intelligence disciplines is close to 1 million per year.

It is worth noting that at the recent Shenzhen Talent High-Tech Fair, there were not many AI positions indicated on the recruitment board. The main reason is that there are too few AI talents who come to apply, not that the industry does not need them.

Extremely scarce talent resources and huge talent demand are the biggest characteristics of the current AI talent field. Therefore, in terms of salary, the annual salary of fresh doctoral students of 800,000 yuan is not groundless, and it is expected that in the next few years, the battle for AI talents will continue, and the salary of AI practitioners will remain high.
