Microsoft is one of the companies that pays a lot of attention to the field of artificial intelligence and has invested a huge amount in the startup OpenAI and other similar startups. It seems that this company has also considered certain salaries and benefits for employees who work on projects related to artificial intelligence.
According to Business Insider, internal documents released by Microsoft show that employees working in the artificial intelligence sector receive an annual salary of about $377,611. This figure is on average $120,000 higher than the salaries of employees who work in units such as Microsoft’s Cloud and Azure.
The wage gap between the employees of the artificial intelligence unit and others is very significant
Of course, these numbers are based on the reports of Microsoft employees and do not provide an accurate picture of the salary and bonuses of employees working in different departments of the company. But the salary gap between the employees of the artificial intelligence unit and other employees is undeniable.
Microsoft’s recent financial reports also show that the focus on artificial intelligence has finally paid off and has been able to increase the company’s revenues. Microsoft’s revenue growth from the Cloud and artificial intelligence segment is expected to continue.
Paying much higher salaries and benefits for employees working in the artificial intelligence sector shows how seriously Microsoft has taken the competition in this field. Currently, the number of specialists who can work on artificial intelligence projects is small. Assigning special benefits will help Microsoft attract top talent and can ultimately put the company ahead of its competitors.
Of course, the disclosure of this issue may also have consequences for Microsoft; For example, employees working in other sectors may object to this wage gap and their productivity will be affected.
