Analysts said that partly reflects how difficult it is to predict which skills – and which people – will prove most valuable as AI develops.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople don’t know how AI will play out, so the search is broader,\u201d said Guo from Hutong Research.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don’t know who you are looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n
For companies, that uncertainty creates an incentive to cast the net wider and earlier.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are still in the trial-and-fail cycle, and it’s more a fear of missing out,\u201d Guo added.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou want to hire the talents, but you do not know what they can do yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
That does not mean everyone with AI skills is commanding extraordinary salaries.<\/p>\n
Wang from the Eurasia Group, said a rare researcher with exceptional mathematics and algorithm skills occupies a very different market from a graduate who applies existing models.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s really just a handful of talents we’re talking about, and that’s probably why there is this very expensive investment in signalling,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
EIU\u2019s Su similarly described the outsized pay packages as \u201cisolated cases\u201d.<\/p>\n
But when companies cannot yet know where the next generation of talent will emerge, there is little incentive to wait until it is fully formed.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s better to access those talents as young as possible,\u201d Guo said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s worse if the talents go to the US, stay there, and never come back to China.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Analysts said that partly reflects how difficult it is to predict which skills – and which people –…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":593670,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[218,114,835,103,61,60,410,411,250931],"class_list":["post-593669","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mental-health","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-china","tag-education","tag-health","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-mental-health","tag-mentalhealth","tag-summer-camp"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/593669","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=593669"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/593669\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/593670"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=593669"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=593669"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=593669"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
