The role of the product manager at Netflix: AI integration
In the context of the screenwriters’ strike, a new role is emerging at Netflix. This is the product manager, who uses artificial intelligence (AI) in different operations of the company, such as content acquisition and personalization of recommendations for users.
The challenges posed by AI for players in the sector
The rise of AI is seen as a threat to actors, according to Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, national executive director of actors union SAG-AFTRA. The strikers are demanding regulations limiting the use of AI in content creation, in order to preserve screenwriters’ jobs.
Casey Bloys, executive at HBO, also opposes the integration of AI into the development and creative process of series produced by the channel. However, AI experience is highly sought after in other industries.
Attractive salaries for AI specialists
AI specialists benefit from attractive salaries. A ResumeBuilder survey reveals that 91% of business leaders are looking for candidates with ChatGPT experience. Some employers offer six-figure base salaries, topping $200,000 or even $300,000 for master content creator engineers.
Online training to meet demand
There are a growing number of online tutorials available to help individuals develop their ChatGPT skills. These training courses allow people interested in this booming sector to acquire the necessary knowledge.
The debate around AI: threat or opportunity?
AI is seen as a potential threat to the work of actors and writers, but it also creates new opportunities for product managers and specialist engineers. It is therefore important to establish adequate regulation that allows the use of AI while preserving the creativity and work of artists.
The future :
As AI develops, questions will arise about its integration into traditional industries, including entertainment. It will be crucial to find a balance between using AI as an innovative tool and preserving the jobs of writers and actors.
