Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is more than just a trendy term. It's a means for computers to take on tasks that usually need human-like thinking.
Simply put, it's a set of computer rules and patterns that help machines make decisions or solve problems.
With the advent of ChatGPT, Generative AI has surged in popularity. This technology allows people to learn and solve complex problems in a more conversation or question-based manner than other AI techniques. Large Language Models (LLMs) are one form of Generative AI.
Engineers are now using AI in their workflows and daily tasks to be more efficient and accurate. This can range from code assistance, automated code reviews, and real-time debugging to catch errors.
In this form, AI takes the seat of a co-pilot that helps you navigate and streamlines simple tasks. AI-based tools exist as an extension of your coding skill set to magnify your capabilities as a software engineer.
When it comes to predicting the impact AI will have on the global economy in the coming years, we can be sure of two things…its limitless potential and disruptive effects will transform life as we know it.
According to PwC, AI is projected to be a $15.7 Trillion dollar industry by 2030. That’s larger than the GDP of China and India put together.

In addition to new types of workers who will focus on thinking creatively about how AI can be developed and applied, a new set of personnel will be required to build, maintain, operate, and regulate these emerging technologies. For example, we will need the equivalent of air traffic controllers to control the autonomous vehicles on the road. Same day delivery and robotic packaging and warehousing are also resulting in more jobs for robots and for humans. All of this will facilitate the creation of new jobs that would not have existed in a world without AI.
We include our AI curriculum in all our immersive courses, so the choice is yours… campus-based or online, part-time or full-time.
