Learn all about what an artificial intelligence engineer does and how to get into this
exciting career field.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that involves programming


machines to think like human brains. While simulating human actions might sound like the
stuff of science fiction novels, it is actually a tool that enables us to rethink how we use,
analyze, and integrate information to improve business decisions. AI has great potential
when applied to finance, national security, health care, criminal justice, and transportation
[1].

By 2030, AI could contribute up to $15.7 trillion to the global economy, which is more than
China and India’s combined output today, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Global
Artificial Intelligence Study [2]. This projected growth means organizations are turning to
AI to help power their business decisions and increase efficiency. 

For an AI engineer, that means plenty of growth potential and a healthy salary to match.
Read on to learn more about what an AI engineer does and how to get started.

What is AI engineering?
Artificial intelligence engineers are individuals who use AI and machine learning
techniques to develop applications and systems that can help organizations increase
efficiency, cut costs, increase profits, and make better business decisions.

AI engineering focuses on developing the tools, systems, and processes that enable artificial
intelligence to be applied in the real world. Any application where machines mimic human
functions, such as solving problems and learning, can be considered artificial intelligence.
Algorithms are “trained” by data, which helps them to learn and perform better.

You may have encountered the results of AI engineering when you use Netflix, Spotify, or
YouTube, where machine learning customized suggestions based on your behavior.
Another popular example is in transportation, where self-driving cars are driven by AI and
machine learning technology. It’s especially useful in the health care industry because AI
can power robots to perform surgery and generate automated image diagnoses. 

Is AI for me?

The course AI for Everyone breaks down artificial intelligence to be accessible for those
who might not need to understand the technical side of AI. If you want a crash course in the
fundamentals, this class can help you understand key concepts and spot opportunities to
apply AI in your organization.

AI engineer responsibilities
AI engineers play an important role in organizations that use AI. They chart the AI strategy
and define the problems to be solved with AI. They’re in charge of building AI
development and production infrastructure, and then implementing them. Here are some
specific tasks and responsibilities of an AI engineer:

 Create and manage the AI development and production infrastructure


 Conduct statistical analysis and interpret the results to guide and optimize the
organization’s decision-making process
 Automate AI infrastructures for the data science team
 Build AI models from scratch and help product managers and other stakeholders
with analysis and implementation
 Transform machine learning models into APIs that can be integrated with other
applications
 Collaborate across teams to help with AI adoption and best practices
