AI talent is in high demand even at non-tech companies. And jobs are paying way over six figures — up to $300,000.

• Companies across industries are hiring talent to help them develop and use generative AI.
• The law firm Husch Blackwell and insurer Travelers are among those seeking AI skills.
• Listings for such roles tend to offer above $100,000 in base salary and go as high as $300,000.

AI developers, engineers, and consultants are seeing lots of new job opportunities with companies far outside the traditional tech world looking to put generative artificial intelligence to work.

Listings at non-tech firms showed a wide range of salaries — often exceeding well over $100,000 in base pay. One for a machine learning researcher role at the trading firm Jane Street indicated a salary range of $250,000 to $300,000. A representative for Jane Street declined to comment.
