So, for those looking down the barrel of A.I., finding a way to retool and learn in-demand skills may help propel you into an advanced career in the world of tech—with a high-paying salary. At Meta, the starting base salary for A.I. and machine learning technical program managers is $193,000. At Apple, machine learning engineers start at $199,800. One starting point to achieve these careers is obtaining a certificate in A.I. Mostly online and some as low as $599, programs can provide students with the necessary technical, financial, and ethical skills. Plus, students can learn on their own time over the course of a few weeks. The programs can provide a quicker learning route—and at a much cheaper cost—than seeking a master’s degree in A.I. or an MBA with an A.I. concentration.
