Students with programming and building skills may have a leg up when applying for roles like AI architect or engineer. Those with a deeper understanding of subjects like psychology and sociology will have an even greater edge on applicants who have only mastered technical skills, says Sean McGowan, employer relations director at Carnegie Mellon.”We’re looking at how humans make decisions, because I think that is going to be the next iteration of AI,” he says. That’s where “students with additional skillsets upon the technological ones are going to have an advantage.”
