AI Software Engineer: ChatGPT, Bard and Beyond (Amazon - Audible & Kindle)

Colleagues, the purpose of the “AI Software Engineer: ChatGPT, Bard and Beyond” (Interview Prodigy series) help software engineers and developers capture their ideal job offer and manage their medium-to-long-term career growth in the global artificial intelligence arena. We will focus on artificial intelligence software engineers and developers in this series. Artificial intelligence has proven to be a revolutionary part of the digital era. As a result, top tech giants like Amazon, Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, and International Business Machines Corporation have been investing significantly in the research and development of artificial intelligence. As a result, these companies are contributing well to making A.I. more accessible for businesses. In addition, different companies have adopted A.I. technology for improved customer experience. For example, in March 2020, McDonald's invested $300 million to acquire an A.I. startup in Tel Aviv to provide a personalized experience for its customers using artificial intelligence. This was its most significant tech investment.

AI Engineers have many opportunities, which will only grow with time. After reading this book, I hope you can identify your ideal job offer and manage your short- and long-term career growth plan, especially in artificial intelligence. The world of artificial intelligence is vast. As I stated earlier in this book, it has a current market size of $136.55 billion based on a 2022 report by CAGR, and it will likely reach a growth rate of 37.3% from 2023 to 2030. You can study artificial intelligence from three aspects. First, the narrow artificial intelligence: this is where you learn about strong AI, artificial general intelligence, and narrow artificial intelligence, also known as weak AI. As I mentioned earlier in this book, the tech we use daily is known as narrow artificial intelligence mainly because it focuses on one narrow task. An example is a chess computer, Siri, or Alexa. Artificial narrow intelligence generally operates within a limited predetermined range. Then there is machine learning, an application that allows systems and computers to learn and improve without being programmed. This idea aims to enable systems to learn and adapt automatically without human involvement or support. Deep learning enables inventors to enhance technology such as self-driving vehicles, speech recognition, and facial identification.
