What I plan to do after AI steals my job

I have been thinking more and more about where my field is going and how to keep ahead of the curve.

Unless there is a massive energy or chip shortage, ML/AI is here to stay, and it will likely continue to have an impact on how software and data work.

Where is the next frontier?

I am bullish on Robotics. Moving data around is quickly becoming commoditized, but moving actual physical, real-world objects using robotics is still the wild west.

Don’t get me wrong, there is plenty of amazing robotics out there but, it hasn’t become the race to the bottom that AI software seems to be stuck in right now. That is not to say the software business is done; it’s just in a weird spot right now.

Just check out the First World Humanoid Robot Games to see how far we have come with robotics. Conversely, you will also see how far we have to go when you see them fall down or get stuck repeatedly.

By no means am I shutting down my current consulting practice, but I am keeping it on my radar as the tech industry evolves.

If you have any resources related to robotics, feel free to send them my way.
