Anima Anandkumar, a leading AI researcher and professor at Caltech, emphasizes the irreplaceability of human curiosity in the AI era. She advises students to embrace curiosity rather than fear AI. Anandkumar believes demand will remain for skilled programmers, while stressing that those not keeping up will face challenges. Skeptical of fully autonomous AI scientists, she notes that practical validation remains a major limiting factor. The article highlights the importance of curiosity and adaptability in a rapidly evolving tech landscape.
"I think one job that will not be replaced by AI is the ability to be curious and go after hard problems," Anima Anandkumar said.
"For young people, my advice is not to be afraid of AI or worry what skills to learn that AI may replace them with, but really be in that path of curiosity," Anandkumar added.
"The bottleneck is going to the lab or going to the real world and testing them. That is slow, that is expensive," she said.
"A bad programmer who is not better than AI will be in trouble, but great programmers who guide AI will be in high demand," Anandkumar cautioned.
