Netflix Offers $900,000 AI Job Amidst Actor and Writer Strikes

As actors and writers continue to strike, Netflix has listed a job posting for a machine learning platform product manager with an annual salary ranging from $300,000 to $900,000, highlighting the stark contrast between the pay of AI professionals and those in the entertainment industry. The job listing suggests that AI will be used to create content and integrate it into all areas of the business. Additionally, Netflix is hiring a technical director for generative AI at its gaming studio, offering an annual salary of up to $650,000. These efforts come amidst ongoing negotiations between striking actors and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) over the use of AI-enhanced CGI simulacrums without consent or compensation.
