AE Studio, a company specializing in software consulting and artificial intelligence research, has placed a unique vacancy to find a specialist in the recovery of sunken treasures. The employer is looking for a candidate with many years of seafaring experience, valid diver's certificates and a willingness to work in extreme conditions that insurance companies refuse to cover. The list of additional requirements includes proficiency in Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch, experience working with cargo from ships older than 1800, the availability of sailing certificates and their own boat, as well as operational experience in the regions of Somalia or the Straits of Malacca.
The technological basis of the project is based on the use of artificial intelligence to analyze 80 million pages of documents spanning five centuries of the Spanish colonial bureaucracy. The system processes marine, admiralty, and insurance records to determine the most likely locations of sunken ships and their cargo. Since algorithms are not physically capable of participating in underwater operations, the company is looking for qualified specialists who will act as performers to directly search for and lift treasures at coordinates determined by artificial intelligence.
The compensation package includes a monetary reward in the range of 50 to 500 thousand dollars per year, a share in the new company and a percentage of the value of the raised treasures.
