With the rise of AI there is a lot of fear mongering occurring in our world where many people are fearful they may not have a job in the next couple of years. However, after speaking to many professionals many say that AI is rather like a tool useful to be more efficient in their everyday work. With that, skills like excel that used to stand out within candidates are now being taken over by AI. This means the skills that allow candidates to stand are different now, and I would like to know what that is. I am currently a freshman in college. I am an accounting major with a minor in psychology and I would love to know what are your thoughts on AI, and how you think technology will continue to grow and expand, and how that will affect our careers.
