The effects of AI and automation will not be felt in the tech sector so much as they will be felt in, and I believe will ultimately come to decimate, certain other industries. For example the long distance trucking industry in the US.

I love working in the Technology industry but it can be very cut throat, pressured, and at times stressful. But I have learned over the years various Business emotional intelligence techniques to cope, these are free e-learning tips but are invaluable in today's Tech industry.
Alison Allan, Global Change Manager
After a decade of stagnation through the PC era we are now truly in the Cloud era where services are being consolidated into centralised services. This has led to an increase in innovation, start ups and billion dollar valuations for companies that have, and will likely, never make money.
Richard Billam, IT & Change Director
Diversity is at risk because of the pressures on reduced staffing levels, and inability of leaders to see that flexible working enables better results. Divergence is in careers between those who are now superusers of tool sets, configuring pre-set platforms, and those developing those platforms - the latter is where the skills shortages are.
Fran Paterson, Retired Business Analysis Manager
There has never been a better time to be in technology, as long as you are prepared to stay up with technology. Every employer will be looking for the best technology people, good people can get great jobs across every industry.
Matthew O'Neill, Financial Services Industry, Managing Director
