Week 3 - Surfing the Tsunami

 In this week's chapter of our professor's book, Surfing The Tsunami, we are met with another bold quote regarding AI and its impact on the job market. "No matter what, in all of the articles I've read, from the darkest pessimism and alarm, all the way to the rosy glow of optimism about AI, no one that I have read suggests that it's okay to ignore AI." Professor could not be more spot on; it is absolutely not ok to ignore the impact of Artificial Intelligence. He then goes on to mention that there are three types of people reacting to Ai's impact: Optimists, Pessimists, and Realists.

I believe that I am aligned with the professor's take on this subject. I want to be an optimist, the data may push me to be a pessimist, but I am moving towards being a realist. What I mean by this is that I want to believe that AI's impact will not affect me in the present, nor will it truly make an impact on my career before I retire. However, the data suggests I could be very wrong in that statement. So this brings me to being a realist, where I am proactive in my efforts to accept AI's impact and work to adapting to the changes that this technology can bring to any and all industries.
