The battle for talents in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) has begun, and the annual salary of fresh doctors in this field last year was 500,000 yuan, and this year it has soared to 800,000 yuan. Recently, at the 20th Talent High-tech Fair held in Shenzhen, the salary 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 Planning 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 serious state of supply and demand imbalance. In fact, not only China, but also the global 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 order of millions, and there are 367 universities with artificial intelligence research directions in the world, and about 20,000 students in the field of AI are graduated every year, which is far from meeting the market demand for talents. On this basis, relevant experts estimate that the gap in the demand for talents in the Chinese engineering intelligence discipline is close to 1 million per year.
It is worth noting that at the recently held Shenzhen Talent High-tech Fair, there are not many AI positions indicated on the recruitment board. The main reason is that there are too few AI talents to apply, not that the industry does not need them.
The extremely scarce talent resources and huge talent demand are the biggest characteristics of the current AI talent field. Therefore, in terms of salary and treatment, the annual salary of 800,000 yuan for fresh doctoral students is not for nothing, 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.
