IBM’s AI Chief Matthew Candy, predicts that Tech enthusiasts won’t need a Computer Science degree to work in Technology anymore, AI will do coding.
Matthew Candy, IBM’s global managing partner for generative AI, said in an interview that AI would make it possible for anyone with an idea to create products without having to code.
“The speed at which people will be able to come up with an idea, to test the idea, to make something, it’s going to be so accelerated. You don’t need to have a degree in computer science to do that,” Candy explained.
Furthermore, Candy added that soft skills like creativity and innovation would be more valuable in the age of AI. “Questioning, creativity skills, and innovation are going to be hugely important because I think AI’s going to free up more capacity for creative thought processes,” he expressed.
However, it’s not just the tech industry that will be affected by AI. Candy said that AI image-generation technology could also transform the arts. “You’re going to be able to take on the role of a designer. You don’t need to be a graphic designer and have an art degree to do these things,” Candy concluded.
