Hello,

Both the branches that you have mentioned are excellent and more salary ones too.

There is scope in developing machines in robotics, computer vision, language detection machine, game playing, expert systems, speech recognition machine and much more in artificial intelligence.

The average annual salary of an AI engineer is well over $100,000.

Artificial intelligence is impacting the future of virtually every industry and every human being.

While Data science has emerged as an attractive career option for freshers as well as experienced professionals.The demand for data engineers is very high in sectors like information technology, telecom, manufacturing, finance and insurance, retail and many more.

The average data scientists salary is 698,412. An entry-level data scientist can earn around 500,000 per annum with less than one year of experience.

Now what's better?

1.Artificial Intelligence is only limited to the implementation of ML algorithms, whereas Data Science involves various underlying operations of data.

2.Artificial Intelligence will use algorithms in computers to solve the problem, whereas Data Science will involve many different methods of statistics.

Conclusion both are well paying jobs with whole lot of opportunities abroad as well as India. Do what you like and have interest in.

Hope this helps!!
