About AIcareers.uk
Making AI careers accessible and clear for everyone in the UK.
Our Mission
The AI industry is growing rapidly, but career guidance hasn't kept pace with the opportunity. Too many people are confused about AI career options, overwhelmed by learning options, and unsure how to transition into these roles.
AIcareers.uk exists to change that. We provide clear, practical, UK-focused guidance on:
- What different AI careers actually involve
- How to transition from your current background
- Which skills matter most
- Where to find learning resources and jobs

Why AIcareers.uk Exists
We saw three gaps in the market:
Gap 1: Clarity
Most career advice glosses over AI as one role ("data scientist"). In reality, there are 7+ distinct careers with different backgrounds, skills, and salary ranges.
Gap 2: Guidance
Generic transition guides exist (e.g., "become a data scientist"), but they don't account for UK job market realities, salary expectations, or which resources actually work.
Gap 3: UK Focus
Most resources are US-centric. We focus on UK-specific opportunities: public sector, salary ranges, employers, and resources.
Our Approach
- Practical: We focus on actionable guidance, not theory. Every recommendation is something you can actually do.
- Honest: We tell you the reality - including salary ranges, how long transitions actually take, and hard truths about the job market.
- UK-Focused: All data, examples, and recommendations are tailored to the UK market.
- Inclusive: We believe AI careers are accessible from any background - technical or not, young or career-changer.
- Integrated: We connect to real jobs through our partnership with AI Jobs Market, keeping guidance current.
About the Creator
AIcareers.uk was built by people who've seen firsthand the confusion around AI careers. We've worked in AI, advised people transitioning into these roles, and recognized the gap in quality guidance for UK-focused job seekers.
We're independent and funded through referrals to jobs and educational partners. We don't take money from training companies promoting their courses - instead, we recommend resources based on quality and value.
