Tough New Growth

Research finds that when adolescents learn how to interpret difficulty and stress in this way, they experience fewer depressive and anxiety symptoms under stress. Their bodies also show the physiological hallmarks of a person thriving, rather than foundering, under intense stress.

AI Architect

AI architects are information technology professionals who design and apply processes, systems, and artificial networks that support software, data, and computer functionality for both business and personal use. An AI architect may use machine learning, natural language processing, data administration and AI integration to develop artificial networks and automated programs that businesses and consumers can use for a variety of applications. From securing government data files to developing automated software services, an AI architect is the professional who contributes to much of this work.

Education Needed

AI-driven companies expect their software architects to have at least a bachelor‘s degree in computer science, information systems, or software engineering. As a practical role, experience is as important as educational qualification. Hands-on experience with cloud platforms, data processes, software development, statistical analysis, etc., will place you in good stead.

Duties

- AI architects envision, build, deploy and operationalize an end-to-end machine learning (ML) and AI pipeline.
- AI architects can help build a robust enterprisewide architecture for AI and collaborate with data scientists, data engineers, developers, operations, and security.

Wages
