A recent study suggested that skills in artificial intelligence (AI) could boost pay in healthcare, education, and financial services. But the answer of how much Web3 companies can pay artisans and tradespeople for traditional jobs does surprise.
According to a study conducted by consulting firm Access Partnership and Amazon Web Services, over 80% of finance, education, and healthcare employees think their AI skills could increase their salaries. Information technology, sales, and marketing roles were expected to see pay bumps of 31%, 37%, and 47%.
AI Could Enhance Web3 Skills
AI is also part and parcel of Web3, the decentralized version of the internet that includes blockchains, data autonomy, and decentralized identities. Like Web2, this decentralized version of the internet needs content writers, designers, social media, and community managers.
And like Web2, Web3 workers could see a wage bump by increasing their AI skills. A recent study at the Boston Consulting Group found that gig workers whose jobs were most in danger from AI were those requiring a narrow set of responsibilities. On the other hand, those who had multiple skills stood a better chance of finding work.
The study also found that those who use AI to for only selected tasks gained productivity. In roles requiring mostly public domain knowledge, AI outperformed humans.
How Much Does a Web3 Job Pay?
So, for those wondering “How much does a Web3 job pay,” the answer may sometimes be “Not very different from Web2.” It depends on how specialized the role that a candidate is applying for is.
Developers, who are sorely needed for their ability to build the core infrastructure, may naturally command higher salaries. Experience and job locations may also increase the salary threshold.
