Generative AI presents distinct career paths for technology experts and business leaders. Research by Microsoft’s Aditya Challapally highlights two essential tracks: one focused on developing AI solutions and the other on applying AI effectively in business contexts. IT professionals should familiarize themselves with tools like GitHub Copilot to enhance productivity rapidly, achieving recognition as top coders. Concurrently, domain experts who understand industry-specific applications of AI are increasingly valuable. The demand for individuals with robust AI knowledge is growing as technical skills and business savvy converge, surpassing traditional project management skills.
"IT professionals should actively explore new tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, and others to stay on the cutting edge," Challapally told ZDNET.
"As AI models become more commoditized, specialized domain knowledge becomes increasingly valuable," Challapally said.
