How AI changes the skills needed for software engineering and data science

AI changed the game in my last job - and it also changed the skills I valued most in the software developers and data scientists I hired.

 

In this talk, I’ll share insights from my role as CTO of a large Specialist Military Unit, including case studies of where AI was useful and useless(!) and how it changed the role of our software developers and data scientists. My hope is that it empowers Computer Science, Digital T-level and other STEM educators with some insights as to how AI might be changing the skills required of their students by employers now and in the future.
