Netflix is hiring an AI product manager with a salary range of up to US$900,000 (RM4mil) to boost the company’s internal use of artificial intelligence.
The posting, which was initially discovered by The Intercept, states that the successful applicant will receive a salary of US$300,000 (RM1.3mil) to US$900,000 and will be based at Netflix’s Los Gatos, California, headquarters or remotely on the west coast.
The job listing comes as the Writer’s Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Radio and Television Artists, are on strike.
One of the concerns both labour union groups voiced was the use of machine learning in television and film production.
According to the job posting, the successful candidate will be in charge of Netflix’s “strategic vision” for AI through its machine learning platform.
It is unclear whether or not this role will be directly involved with or impact content creation. Netflix already uses AI to customise user experience, such as selecting the thumbnail art or curating users recommendations based on their specific tastes.
The company also uses AI in data analytics to determine which programs are successful.
Netflix declined to comment on the product manager role advertised on their website. – nj.com/Tribune News Service
