The Turning Era: AI's Rise in the World of Tech by

Software Engineers !== AI

ljhernandez221 — 2024-04-03 18:20:36 UTC

SUMMARY: "App Academy" discusses and lays out reasons why AI will NOT replace software engineers. While software engineers' roles are evolving due to AI, there are still numerous other aspects one must consider when being a software engineer. Writing code is a small part of the job. Problem-solving, creativity, design skills, security awareness, and complex system components are still things AI cannot replace. IT professionals will need to shift their mindsets. Instead of fearing AI, incorporating AI into software engineering will allow focus on more critical and complex aspects instead of tedious coding tasks.

REFLECTION: I have found very good points in this article on why AI will not take over software engineers in its current state. While AI is a powerful tool, it is not powerful enough to take over human aspects of tech-related jobs. The demand for software engineers will continue to grow.

AI Taking Over Jobs? What to know

ljhernandez221 — 2024-04-03 18:45:42 UTC

SUMMARY: Matthew Urwin speaks about the widespread adoption of AI. Since the early 2000s, automation systems have slowly phased out many manufacturing jobs, and now white-collar jobs as well. Experts expect to see disruptions in hiring due to AI. But demand in other sectors is expected to rise. Urwin states that AI's biggest advantage will be its ability to save humans from having to do repetitive tasks. Urwin lists 10 jobs that are at risk of being replaced and 10 jobs that will not get replaced.

REFLECTION: This list of popular jobs that will and will not be replaced by AI. The author also speaks about the good that AI will have on the job market. This is a great article to get some information on where AI will be headed in the near future.

The dangers of AI; What job will or will not be replaced.

ljhernandez221 — 2024-04-03 19:29:29 UTC

SUMMARIZE: Andrei Jikh, a YouTuber, speaks about the dangers of AI. Jikh explains how AI works. He explains how AI can already do 25% of human work. Tech companies, banks, and entertainment industries are already utilizing AI for marketing campaigns, movie scripts, and anti-money laundering, reducing things like human errors and costs. Jobs like office and administrative support, legal work, architecture, engineering work, etc. are most likely at risk of being replaced. Any jobs that are repetitive are most likely to be replaced by AI. Companies can lay off employees for productivity, not because AI can do their job.

REFLECTION: One of the best YouTube educational videos I have found. The YouTuber speaks about interesting facts and great takes. He goes into the dangers of AI but also some of the benefits. I've included this video for the number of real sources and statistics Anderi includes.

Learning to code? Is it worth it or not?.

ljhernandez221 — 2024-04-03 19:52:40 UTC

SUMMARY: The author states that AI's impact on computer science majors is already here. Students are able to finish school work at a faster rate than ever before because of AI tools. According to the author, professors must shift to supervised in-classroom assignments in order to prevent this. The author stops claiming that learning to program will no longer be useful. However, they admit that the tech industry will go through a major change as AI grows and trains itself, maybe even replacing those who only code as a career.

REFLECTION: The author speaks some truth about learning to code. I feel as if its obvious that programmers must leverage AI in order to work more efficiently. I added this article because of the interesting points the author has to offer.

AI a job killer?

ljhernandez221 — 2024-04-25 02:29:43 UTC

SUMMARY: Many tech workers laid off recently in California and across the U.S. Layoffs were partly due to pandemic-related over-hiring and investor demands. However, the industry shifted towards AI. AI is not only replacing traditional programming but also creating new jobs across the tech world. Job postings mentioning AI have increased, especially in Silicon Valley, which leads to AI adoption. Startups and established companies alike are hiring for AI roles, reflecting a big interest and investment. Despite the demand for AI talent, some struggle to find jobs with deep AI experience.

REFLECTION: I think this article reflects the big transition the tech industry is facing right now. It highlights both the opportunities AI will provide and also the challenges. It's reshaping the job market but also creating new jobs. The article shows the importance of staying adaptable and up to date.

What To Do Now?

ljhernandez221 — 2024-04-26 01:06:57 UTC

SUMMARY:

As AI disrupts various tech roles, about 69 million new hybrid tech jobs are expected to emerge. These include roles like Product Builder, Prompt Engineer/Developer, Business Analyst/Data Engineer, Quality Assurance Director, and Complex Project Manager. AI can handle repetitive coding tasks but lacks in decision-making and human interaction roles.

REFLECTION:

I chose this article because it covers important roles in a tech company. The author then goes over how to effectively incorporate AI into your work.

Fears of AI

ljhernandez221 — 2024-04-26 01:09:46 UTC

SUMMARY:

Goldman Sachs economists predict that up to 300 million jobs worldwide could be automated by advancements in artificial intelligence, including platforms like ChatGPT. They estimate that 18% of global work could be computerized, with a greater impact on advanced economies than emerging markets. White-collar workers, such as administrative staff and lawyers, are deemed more vulnerable to AI automation than manual laborers.

REFLECTION:

I decided on this article because embracing the opportunities presented by AI and proactively addressing its challenges, we can strive towards a future where technology catalyzes inclusive growth and prosperity.
