The hot new government job is AI specialist

The Biden administration plans to hire 100 AI professionals across federal agencies by the summer. Each agency will also need to hire a chief AI specialist to ensure responsible and ethical use of AI. AI Governance Boards will be established within agencies to oversee AI adoption. These new roles offer incentives, flexible work schedules, and remote work options. Salaries for certain AI-related positions can exceed $143,000. Agencies must prove that their AI use doesn't harm the public, and guidelines include publishing annual AI inventories and ensuring human oversight of AI tools. This initiative is part of Biden's broader AI plan.
