Why Netflix Wants to Hire AI Experts
Netflix wants to hire artificial intelligence (AI) experts, while Hollywood writers and performers are on a strike against the technology.
In 2023, AI has become the mainstream topic of discussion. While some are excited about the future of AI, others have raised serious concerns about its impact on humanity.
Netflix Tries to Expand Its AI Team
Netflix has opened up positions for various roles based on machine learning and AI with annual compensation of up to $900,000. Some of the roles are:
- Machine learning scientist
- Data scientist
- Product Manager
- Technical director
- Research scientist
The company wants to hire new talent to increase the leverage of its machine-learning platform. Moreover, Netflix also aims to build games utilizing AI technology. The streaming platform wrote:
“The Game Studio is building an incubation style R&D team chartered to lead our investments in building new kinds of games not previously possible without ongoing advances AI/ML technologies.”
Why is Hollywood Protesting Against AI?
While Netflix is hiring for AI-specific talent, SAG-AFTRA, the world’s largest labor union representing performers and broadcasters, is protesting against AI adoption. The labor union is concerned if the technology will impact the jobs of the writers, actors, and other roles in the entertainment industry.
So far, ChatGPT has demonstrated the capabilities of roughly generating texts for movie plots, articles, poems, and essays.
Another concern with Artificial intelligence is that it often uses the copyrighted content of writers, painters, comedians, musicians, or other artists to generate new output.
As a matter of fact, recently, the comedian Sarah Silverman filed a class action lawsuit against OpenAI and Meta for copyright infringement.
