An expert advises against pushing your kids to learn programming.
Today, one of the most varied and difficult career paths is in computing, and programming is highly sought after. Ian Bremmer, a well-known American political scientist and businessman, claims that this is among the worst advice you can give: "It's literally worse than getting a tattoo on your face." This is why many parents encourage their kids to learn programming from a young age.
On HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, Ian Bremmer discussed this. His opinions are taken into consideration by governments, businesses, and media outlets all over the world, making him a prominent figure in the study of international relations. What was once thought to be a stable career path may change significantly in the future, according to Bremmer. Why? artificial intelligence.
Bremer cited data from a recent job market report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York that demonstrated how artificial intelligence is drastically altering programmers' career prospects. The analyst claims that many traditional software development skills have already been rendered obsolete by AI, leaving former programmers in a difficult financial situation.
The majority of programmers are still adamant that AI won't replace them. It can be helpful, but it's never a substitute. Bremer's claim is supported by labor market data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which demonstrates that recent computer science graduates have greater unemployment rates than recent graduates of humanities fields like political science or journalism.
According to some analysts, it will be difficult to envision a future where artificial intelligence (AI) plays a central role. Many programming professionals view AI as both a tool and a substitute.
