Smart Career Moves for People in Tech Jobs Facing Disruption from AI
Summary
In fact, we’ll likely see a decrease in the number of developers and engineers needed to create a piece of software going forward as AI takes over repetitive coding tasks. Developers and programmers can prolong their careers by learning how to create a prompt or set of instructions that tells an AI system or tool what to do. Although AI won’t completely eliminate the need for software and game testers, over time it will continue to transform the role and reduce the number of jobs. Sure, AI can enhance and improve project management in a variety of ways, but it can’t do strategic planning, establish priorities, or build trust with stakeholders. Identifying and acquiring adjacent skills that are closely related or connected to your primary area of expertise will help you transition into newly created hybrid or AI-assisted roles in the era of AI.
