These people are highly specialized in their field, and it is a field of scientific study. Scientific AI research today is a combination of several scientific fields.

      That’s fair, but are you sure the top line number cited in the article reflects your definition? Maybe it does, I don’t know.

      I am also sceptical of the the inclusion of philosophers and neuro scientists in your list of fields. I would speculate employment of such specialists represents an infinitely tiny portion of total employment in AI/ML industry (however you define that).

      I am happy to be proven wrong. The topic of employment dynamics in AI/ML is not an area I am familiar with
