Why programming is losing its ‘gold standard’ status to GenAI
Generative AI is rewriting the tech career playbook. Programming, once the gold standard for high-paying jobs, is now viewed as a secondary skill that is ‘less essential’ to the future workforce. Because learning AI is more accessible to beginners, the disruption to traditional coding has multiplied. With AI/ML roles commanding significantly higher salaries than standard development jobs, the industry’s transition is only gathering speed. The above conclusions are based on the World Economic Forum’s “New Economy Skills: Building AI, Data and Digital Capabilities for Growth”.
