AI Wrangler

Quoting Business Insider:

The role of the ‘AI wrangler’

When he started at Google Labs, Johnson initially helped write prompts for AI models. As the AI boom took off, the role of prompt engineer similarly captured the attention of other English majors interested in AI.

Johnson said that prompting will change, especially as AI models improve at rewriting prompts — but a new role, which he referred to as the “AI wrangler,” has emerged.

“That’s maybe the next stage of the prompt engineer,” Johnson said.

Johnson describes the AI wrangler role as not necessarily requiring coding expertise but involving deep knowledge of the latest models and their capabilities.

For example, if someone wants to create a 30-second animated video with AI, the AI wrangler would know the best tool for that task and how to use it, Johnson said. He said the role requires a “certain level of technical sophistication” but doesn’t require knowing how to program.
