Keeping someone entirely out of a field like AI for three years is an illegal
restraint of trade, I would suggest.  Employment agreements must be
reasonable with respect to time and area limitations to be enforceable, and
I doubt that 3 years is a reasonable time constraint, especially given that it
seems to be sufficiently long to get completely out of touch with the field.
The fact that the company offers to pay you for those three years is
irrelevant.
