(24,107 posts)and other professionals don't really know what it is yet. It takes lots of time for a new tech to be fully developed and we yet to see its full impact. And claiming that nowhere near enough job losses? How do you support this? Who's going to do the work of developing the AI, the interfaces, putting 'it' in, reshaping Corporate America for the AI, etc.? It's going to take a massive effort, by thousands of techs, either developing the software and/or tech for whatever AI entails. No one truly knows the full scope yet, very similar to what It was like back in the early 70s.
Back then, it was just a concept, and now it's spread throughout the entire business complex in America. The same will happen to AI, as more and more needs are ID'ed, and more and more bodies are added to help develop it, put it into play. There are over 5 million IT jobs for example in America alone, and over 100,000 jobs are hired alone each month in IT alone. What will AI be like? Probably at first, a little bit, and then when more and more needs are ID'ed, more and more will be devoted and then before you know it, another similar 'Industrial Revolution' will occur similar to the IT revolution, only w/ AI, especially when they finally figure out what all AI entails.
It's really exciting and if you want to ride the wave of jobs coming, get yourself into a 1 year class or something similar, there's not going to be much out there at the college level, as these types of jobs in these new tech fields are so new. Good luck to you, I plan on keeping an eye out, being that I'm still not 100% sure what AI will bring. It's so new.
