There are resources out there to learn any tech skill with the necessary background—and resources to pick up the necessary background if you don't have it. At the same time, tech as a whole is not (fully) commoditized, at least in the sense that there is a wide range to the market and a lot of differentiation towards to top end of the skill distribution. My impression is that ML is getting to the point where you can do useful ML for some businesses without needing particularly deep expertise or creativity so I could see a commoditized lower end to the market developing (just like you can get a generic mobile app from a random consultancy), but there will still be a lot of important business problems that are too hard to tackle that way, leaving a lot of room for experts in the market as well.
