As artificial intelligence continues to reshape workplaces, many students and young professionals worry that AI could replace traditional coding and software engineering jobs. However, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis believes those with strong technical foundations will be among the biggest beneficiaries of the technology.
Speaking at a business conference in London, Hassabis said students should continue to embrace STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and computer science, arguing that AI is more likely to enhance the work of skilled professionals than replace them.
