Giving up a computer science (CS) major for AI is becoming a new trend among young Americans in choosing universities. MIT's AI major, established just three years ago, has quickly become the second-largest major at the institution. The number of undergraduate and master's programs related to AI at U.S. universities is also growing exponentially. The reason is clear: the employment prospects in the AI field are vast. At a dinner in San Francisco, an engineer from a major tech company revealed that he had just been laid off. Only five minutes later, someone at a neighboring table shared a similar experience, stating that their manager had informed them their job had been replaced by AI.
