Chinese Workers Abandon Silicon Valley for Riches Back Home

I am curious what the definition of an 'AI engineer' is.

Is it:

a) someone with an undergraduate/graduate/doctorate degree in CS with specialization in AI/ML?

b) someone with a non-CS degree (Math/EE/CE/Other) who specialized in AI/ML?

c) someone who attended an AI/ML course on Coursera?

d) other?

I thought it was a typo with an extra zero. But I could be wrong. It's a bit confusing.

Basically AI/ML is the new hot thing so everyone wants to be called an AI engineer.

If they previously integrated Nuance's speech recognition into a product, they were just an engineer, now they are an AI engineer. Worked on mapping product which does routing before? Well route searching is an "AI" kind of problem so they are an "AI engineer" too, and so on.

AI/ML is the new "big data" basically. As soon as "big data" appeared, nobody was doing just "data", they were all of the sudden doing "big data".

I do remember the days when a database in the 'GB' size range was considered a very large database.

But hey, why would you ever need more than 640KB memory?

I find it curious that you are trying to define a job based on credentials, instead of defining it based on what the job entails.
