Netflix Needs an AI Expert, Offers $900,000 Salary
26.07.2023 - 10:48 / pcmag.com / Ai
As film and TV actors strike over pay and growing fears over the use of AI, Netflix is attempting to hire an AI expert with the promise of a $900,000 annual salary.
A new job listing(Opens in a new window) appeared at Netflix for a Product Manager on the streaming service's Machine Learning Platform (MLP). Essentially, Netflix is looking for an individual capable of taking full advantage of machine learning and AI to improve the Netflix experience for both employees and customers.
The job listing states this is a new role created to "increase the leverage of our Machine Learning Platform." Netflix links the use of AI to "helping us buy and create great content, helping members choose the right title for them through personalization, to optimizing our payment processing and other revenue-focused initiatives." In other words, AI is set to become an integral part of the whole operation.
The importance of the role is reflected in the salary being offered. Netflix is willing to pay a minimum of $300,000, but up to $900,000 per year for the right person. In return, Netflix wants someone who can define the company's AI strategy going forward, launch new AI-powered features on the platform, as well as create an education system to teach anyone else working at Netflix how to take advantage of its MLP.
Alongside embracing artificial intelligence, Netflix is cracking down on account sharing which so far seems to be working. The streaming service has also dropped the $9.99-per-month basic plan in the US and UK. If all that leaves a bitter taste in your mouth, you could always set up your own video streaming service instead.
