Where an artificial intelligence engineer can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role an artificial intelligence engineer already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Artificial intelligence engineer apply methods of artificial intelligence in engineering, robotics and computer science to design programs which simulate intelligence including thinking models, cognitive and knowledge-based systems, problem solving, and decision making. They also integrate structured knowledge into computer systems (ontologies, knowledge bases) in order to solve complex problems normally requiring a high level of human expertise or artificial intelligence methods.

Also known as intelligent systems designers, artificial intelligence designer, ICT intelligent systems designer, AI system designer, semantic technologies engineer, machine learning systems designer, intelligent systems developer, linked data engineer, intelligent system designer, machine learning engineer, designer of intelligent systems, intelligent systems engineer.
