AI Model Trainer - Fine-tune algorithms. Requires technical skills + deep industry knowledge.

AI Ethics Officer & Safety Analyst - Critical for governance in regulated industries. Assess biases, develop risk protocols.

Data Curator - Most accessible entry point. Domain expertise matters more than degrees.

Conversation Designer/NLP Engineer - Build chatbots, virtual assistants, translation systems.

The future belongs to those treating AI as collaborative tool, not competitive threat.
