Prompt Engineers, AI Auditors and Trainers Blend Human Critical Thinking with New AI Technology
As our industry faces incredible change with the explosion of generative AI, we’ve been keeping track of the new opportunities that are rearing as well in terms of creative AI jobs hitting the scene. AI technology has actually been building for some time now; in recent months however, it has gained steamed because of how it can easily be applied to our everyday functioning, at home and at work. AI is not contained to any one industry either: teachers might use it to condense material for students, writers can utilize it to grab information for new articles, and a computer programmer can build software solutions using the same language a non-coder can understand.
What are some of the latest AI jobs?
AI Trainer
Due to this boom in AI, there are a variety of jobs based on this technology that have been born. Take an AI trainer for example, these professionals are in charge of “training” an AI model in a company. For example, an insurance company might want to implement an AI platform where the customer service is managed through an AI system and not a person. In this case, an AI Trainer would feed data to an AI model so that it could learn specific customer service models or patterns they should have. That’s only one step; according to Medium Magazine, AI Trainers are usually involved in five steps that range from setting up a virtual assistant to analyzing conversations and improving them.
AI Auditor
If that’s not your speed, take a look into an AI Auditor. These individuals ensure that the results that come out of ChatGPT and other generational AI tools are accurate and unbiased. This is critical especially after industry professionals realized that artificial intelligence isn’t exempted from bias. According to Harvard Business Review, Amazon halted its hiring algorithm when it discovered the program leaned more towards words found primarily on men’s resumes based on the pattern of keywords. Many cities such as New York have taken this issue into account and recently passed a bill requiring bias audits. An AI Auditor would consist of evaluating AI technologies used for hiring each year to make sure that candidates aren’t facing discrimination.
Prompt Engineer
Perhaps the hottest AI job on the market today is called an AI Prompt Engineer. An AI Prompt Engineer ensures that the results from ChatGPT are the best ones the user can generate. It’s about how you plug in the request or “prompt” into the AI tool to elicit a comprehensive result. Inputting a vague question will result in a vague response, lacking substance. For example, if you ask ChatGPT to “write you a code for an app” the tool won’t be able to provide an adequate result because the directions are unclear and broad. The job of a Prompt Engineer is to know how to break down the request so that the AI tool can generate the desired code.
AI Prompt Engineers use their human communication skills, analyzation and critical thinking skills to recognize what instructional element is missing in order to get the maximum output. Forbes states that the skills needed for this job include communication skills to effectively express what it is that you want AI to do for you. Next, basic data skills are needed to understand and identify the information AI needs to output the best response. Lastly, critical thinking is required to find various approaches that can get AI to complete the task.
The latest AI jobs requires blending human thought and technology
Amidst the concern for unchecked growth of AI technology, tech professionals will continue to navigate how to use this powerful technology. The first step is to think about how AI can elevate tasks or skills in a way that allows us to spend more time on what matters: people. According to Dominic Allon, CEO of cloud CRM solutions provider Pipedrive, integrating generative AI into your job will allow you to spend more time on human tasks such as working directly with clients to build relationships and trust in the company, while also allowing for more time for creative tasks that a computer can’t do for you.
