The highest paying jobs in artificial intelligence

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
I know many of you are afraid that AI will take your job. And you might be right.
The 2025 Global State of AI at Work Report just confirmed what we all feel. AI is not the future. It’s now. But before you panic, let me offer you a new way of looking at things.
Instead of fearing what’s coming, maybe it’s time to think outside the box. Nearly three in five companies say they are recruiting for AI-related roles this year. And most of these jobs don’t require a computer science degree or even coding skills.
So what are they looking for? Real people with real-world experience. They want people who can think critically, solve problems and communicate clearly. This might sound a lot like… you.

Here are some of the highest paying and fastest growing AI jobs today. Let’s dig.
Fast Engineers
$175,000 to $250,000 and more
These are the “AI whisperers”. Their job is to write the right prompts so that tools like ChatGPT provide useful, accurate, and intelligent responses. You don’t need to know how to code, but you should be an excellent communicator, logical thinker, and problem solver. Bonus: English majors, writers, and marketers often play this role.

AI trainers (or evaluators)
$90,000 to $150,000
Have you ever wondered how chatbots learn to appear polite or helpful? This is the trainer’s job. They note the AI’s responses, modify the tone and precision, and help refine what the AI ”knows.” This is an important role for detail-oriented individuals, even for part-time and remote workers.

Machine learning engineers
$150,000 to $210,000
If you’re the technical type who loves coding, solving complex problems, and building the real brains behind AI, this is where you belong. These jobs are in high demand and the salaries are excellent.

AI Product Managers
$140,000 to $200,000
Not technical? No problem. AI PMs are the bridge between engineers and sales teams. They guide strategy, ensure projects are on time and on budget, and turn AI ideas into real-world results. You will need communication skills, curiosity and business acumen.
Generative AI consultants
$125,000 to $185,000
This is perfect for freelancers or small business owners. Companies are desperate to understand how to use AI, and they will pay you to show them. You can help create automations, train teams, or set up tools like ChatGPT, Jasper, or Midjourney.
