AI Engineer vs ML Engineer | Sebastian Gutierrez

Having been in the data space for more than a decade, it’s been fascinating seen a new paradigm arrive and then get split up.

An AI Engineer leverages pre-trained models and existing AI tools to enhance user experiences. Their primary focus is on the practical application of AI, rather than constructing models from the ground up. This approach distinguishes them from AI Researchers and ML Engineers, who are more concerned with developing new models or advancing AI theory.

This breakdown will represent a significant shift as it will require upskilling already existing AI Enginners and MLOps Engineers as well as provide new education to new developers.
