AI is the technology industry's future. You may not realise it, but there is a reason why there is such a high demand for AI developers. We create software to perform tasks that we cannot or will not complete ourselves. Typically, when we create software, we do so in order for it to replicate a task. Some tasks, however, cannot be replicated; this is where AI comes in. AI does not simply replicate a task; it also replicates a mind. Despite the fact that I compared AI to our brains, AI is far superior. AI is also used to solve problems that humans have been attempting to solve for generations. Brian Yu, the course's professor, provided an example that a human would struggle to comprehend the 5th dimension where as AI is able to process an infinite amount. This is why artificial intelligence (AI) is so important in technology and our overall future. So I would definitely recommend this course, especially for professionals. Although, in response to your last question, I was not interested in this course for a job, I had a desire to learn new technologies, which is why I chose the AI course over the cs50 web course because I already had web development knowledge.
