Higher education will become just an optional prep course for your sit down conversational AI interview.
Once AI can do a good job vetting candidates, I see no reason for companies not to have an open applicant process where anyone can interview and be evaluated. If you are sharp and know your shit, a degree won't matter and the AI interviewer won't care.
But this is an "All else being equal" scenario, my true belief is that AI will change things so radically that there is effectively an event horizon in the near future, impossible to predict whats beyond it.
- ilc 4y agoThe event horizon you describe is always there. Be it 3D printing, AI, moore's law... etc... The things these things enable, are hard to predict. Think about cloud computing. It changes the game massively for startups and for people who need enterprise class infrastructure as mere mortals. Another constant tension to show you how unpredictable all this is: Do you use kernel networking, let the kernel use hardware offloads, or goto use DPDK? The choice of what to do is changing as hardware changes, the kernel changes etc.... ... Once you understand, that life is ALWAYS at an event horizon.. you understand AI is just another such event. Prediciting the future is for the native... Making the future is the way to go. Currrently the AI guys are doing that. But another thing will rise up, it always does.
- dinkumthinkum 4y agoWhy would you even need jobs in this case? Also why does everyone think we live in some magical fairy in which the majority of people with advanced knowledge of a subject are doing so without higher education. Do these people really think everyone is an autodidact? If that was the case, why would they need to cheat on their courses?
