How will the rising use of AI effect industries such as computer engineering and computer science?

I am currently a first year computer engineering student with very little prior coding experience. AI is definitely having an impact on the industries I am interested in such as computer engineering, but should the changes that AI brings change how I should prepare to enter a career in this field.

I recently completed a software engineering bootcamp after working in HR and logistics, and I’m now pivoting into the tech world.
