Top 15 AI Companies Hiring in 2023 – By Salary Range

Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the way we live, work, and interact with the world around us. From self-driving cars to virtual assistants, AI is quickly becoming an integral part of our daily lives. And it’s going to become more prevalent with each passing day, as some believe the tech will be "as transformative as the Industrial Revolution," if not more so.

While previous decades were defined as an AI winter (where little AI research, development, or funding occurred), much has changed recently – especially with the release of generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Midjourney. That winter chill has officially thawed, with massive influxes of investments pouring into both startups and Big Tech giants alike. With all that money and growth, the demand for skilled AI professionals has never been higher.

So, whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting out, there's never been a better time to work in the AI revolution. In this blog post, explore the best AI companies to work for in 2023 and the exciting career opportunities they offer.

1. OpenAI

Recently, OpenAI has been making headlines for its innovative language model, ChatGPT, which can generate human-like responses to text prompts. This breakthrough has sparked excitement among researchers, developers, and businesses who can use ChatGPT to improve customer service, generate content, and automate tasks. It has also set the record for the fastest-growing consumer application in history, with over 100 million monthly active users in just two months. With such monumental growth, it should be no surprise that the company is actively recruiting talented individuals passionate about AI.
