With AI advancing so fast, I've been thinking a lot about the future of STEM careers. Some roles seem more vulnerable, but others feel harder to automate. What's your take? Which areas do you see staying viable and in demand over the next couple of decades?

I don't see most jobs being fully replaced but productivity will be increased for one person to equal two, so that's where jobs will be lost.

Personally I think roles in which there are a lot of repetitive decisions for example sales (ie generating quotes) could be affected if AI was intelligent enough to curate them correctly. I also sometimes worry that my role which is a branch of Systems Engineering (V&V) could someday be replaced with AI. However given the risk of not having any human oversight I think the risk would be too high. With the integration of AI being used in so many companies it really begs the question on whether there should be regulations in place to ensure that there is still a human element to minimize potential risk.

Personally I don't think that much will actually fully be replaced by AI, but maybe less roles available as people can save so much time using AI now...

I think companies will collectively push for lower workforce even if it means more work for the employees (AI will be used as the excuse for it even if it is not fully replacing an employee)

Later I found out she had tried for the exec assistant role and they didn’t choose her, they wanted me instead.
