If AI does live up to the promise what do you think will be the change in your job. How will AI augment what you do on a daily basis to make you more efficient or change the nature of your work?
1. More software will become AI-powered, narrowing the domains where a human has to write code (counterbalanced by the continuing explosion of the variety of places that you can write code).
2. Better and smarter tools: IDEs that can see when you're coding Java in Python and can suggest a more idiomatic alternative, debuggers that understand off-by-one errors, up to and including AI pair-programming.
3. More expressive high-level programming languages (including ones not based on English-like syntax) with implementations (whether interpreters or compilers) that may not be entirely comprehensible to a human.
4. AI workloads continue to push chip architectures toward more cores, and parallelism-related skills become more important.
5. AI-driven IC design may restart Moore's Law in earnest.
6. Better machine translation further levels the global playing field.
