Nope. Not going to reveal a magic number here, for professional reasons. In terms of AI-related jobs, what I will say is you can get an idea of the pay sometimes by browsing websites like LinkedIn. Some of the job and career websites will provide salary ranges for certain types of job so you can get an idea of expected pay against the required skills you should possess to be eligable for that role.

We are all doing different jobs with different levels of experience so this is a difficult question to answer. But generally I think we get quite well paid for what we do in IT and AI.
What I will tell you is that when I was younger I was interested in politics and thought about trying to become an MP. After 30 years experience I now get paid more than I would do if I had become a backbench MP.

I think the question should be more, how much do you want or need to be paid?
Of course we all want to have loads of money to spend of family, friends and ourselves. I would consider myself paid well compared to others who do incredible jobs to further human understanding (such as Arpita Saggar who has also replied to this question).
The amount of pay will always be a trade off as to what hours you want to work, responsibilities and qualifications. Making sure you are paid correctly will involve websites such as Glassdoor where you can compare wages for similar job titles.
Engineers are typically paid well compared with other STEM careers and a significant number of engineers I know are on 6 figure salaries.
Remember, money isn’t everything and higher salaries come with a sacrifice…maybe you work horrible hours, maybe you need to be always travelling (trust me it is not always as fun as it sounds), maybe the pressures you have a huge and if you make a mistake it could involve jail time, maybe you have zero time for family and friends (not all jobs, especially high paid ones are 9-5).

The salary scales for scientists in the NHS start at around £40000 as a graduate trainee and go up to around £100000 for a department head. However, as others have said very few folk here are in it for the money. Locally, we could all earn considerably more in the oil industry but most have strong ethical reasons for not going that way. Helping patients and developing treatments is a rewarding thing to do.
Geofrey commented on :
How much someone gets paid can vary very much in science related jobs even by people in the same job but with different background or experience. In the oil and gas engineering industry (onshore) a graduate can start at around 28,000 a year and an apprentice at around 20,000 a year. I myself at age 55 because of my experience get around 3-4 times an apprentice wage, at Senior engineer level with 14 years industry experience and 22 extra years in technology and engineering.
