If you’re interested in AI work but can’t write a line of code to save your life, the good news is that you’ve still got options. There’s more to this technology than just algorithms, data modeling, and technical engineering, after all.
Here are some roles—in order of average pay, starting at the low end—for non-techies looking to switch to an exciting AI career.

AI is only as good as its data, and data
European Union regulators on Thursday ratcheted up scrutiny of Big Tech companies, including Google, Facebook, and TikTok, with requests for information on how they’re dealing with risks from generative artificial intelligence, such as the viral spread of deepfakes.
The European Commission, the EU’s executive branch, has sent questionnaires about the ways that eight platforms and search engines—including Microsoft’s Bing, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, and
TikTok is facing a possible ban in the United States if parent company ByteDance doesn’t sell the social media platform. Making that happen might be easier said that done, though.
The House of Representatives, on Wednesday, passed a bill mandating the sale of the app within six months. If ByteDance refuses, then TikTok would be removed from app stores and U.S. servers. The legislation faces a less certain road in the Senate, but President Joe Biden has said he will sign the b
SpaceX’s third test flight of its massive Starship rocket, which NASA is counting on as part of its mission to return astronauts to the moon, ended the same as the first two, with the oversized vehicles breaking up before the flight was complete, but officials are celebrating the launch, calling it successful.
That might sound like a curious description to some people given the complete loss of the rocket, but, at this stage, success doesn’t have to mean a picture-perf
If President Joe Biden keeps his promise to sign a ban on TikTok over its ties to the Chinese government, the 81-year-old may rob his reelection campaign of a platform that he and fellow Democrats rely on to reach younger voters.
Biden’s campaign got thousands of “likes” on Tuesday for a TikTok video skewering Republican rival Donald Trump about cutting Social Security spending. But the comments were focused on another issue altogether: the proposed ban.
Yahoo is testing out a new creator program that will allow certain writers to publish and monetize stories under the Yahoo News brand, the company tells Fast Company.
The effort is meant to broaden the news platform’s lifestyle content—which it described as fitness, DIY, travel, home, and style stories—in a rapidly changing media landscape. So it won’t be available for people who want to write about things like politics or sports. The draw to creators, me
A California state senator is planning to soften a proposal that would have banned self-checkout lanes at large grocery stores and other establishments, Fast Company has learned.
The proposal, announced last month by state Senator Lola Smallwood-Cuevas of California’s 28th District, was part of a package of bills aimed at “empowering vulnerable populations,” including helping workers and promoting economic growth in underserved communities across the state. As i
House approves bill to ban TikTok: In a 356 to 52 vote on Wednesday, the House voted to approve a bill that could potentially ban TikTok, which is owned by Chinese company ByteDance, from U.S. app stores (or force a sale) in an effort to restrict China’s access to Americans’ data. TikTok has urged users to “tell Congress what TikTok means to you,” and argues the bill impedes on First Amendment rights. The bill will now head to the Senate; if it passes there, Presid
With one week until the January kickoff of Y Combinator’s winter 2024 startup batch, there’s a hush in the prestigious accelerator program’s cavernous new San Francisco headquarters.
The only sound, aside from steady rain streaking the windows, is the muffled labor of two YC partners in a makeshift subterranean kitchen, where they are practicing a chicken and dumplings recipe to serve to a group of incoming founders. Like thousands of hopefuls before them, these
SpaceX will attempt to launch its mega-rocket Starship on its third test flight from its spaceport in Boca Chica, Texas, today. The livestream is scheduled to begin at 7:30 a.m. ET, with liftoff targeted for about 8 a.m. ET.
The flight plan for SpaceX’s third Starship test is different from its previous two attempts. The “Super Heavy” rocket booster will once again attempt a splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico. But the first stage, Starship, will ascend and then ta
