The future for AI is promising regardless of the drawbacks encountered by its enthusiasts. We have seen self-driving cars, the world’s first humanoid robot, Sophia, that can converse with humans, the humanoid waiters that go around tables serving meals in restaurants, and those that assist with goods handling, among many other great examples. However, we should be worried that AI would lead to job losses in some sectors that require active human labour while creating more IT job opportunities. Well, as the proverbial saying goes, “to be forewarned is to be forearmed”; hence, acquiring IT skills and experience sufficient to survive the next wave of AI evolution might be worthwhile for all and sundry, including but not limited to the nextgen.
