Gen Z Will Be Prepared For the AI Wave Entering the Workforce

Abstract

As Gen Z gets older and starts entering the workforce, AI’s technology and computing power grows as well. AI (Artificial Intelligence) was originally made for completing one task and being good at the set task. For example, Deep Blue, a program developed in 1997 was simply designed with one goal: To beat you at chess. However, in the last 10 years, AI has gone from being a simple amusement to humans to playing a significant role in the workforce. Now they range from AI’s that build websites for you, to personal AI assistants that actively try to personalize your online experience. It's clear that AI’s presence in the corporate world is expanding rapidly. One group of people that have watched this change in the need for AI is actually Gen Z. So this begs the question whether they are ready to take on the new wave of AI and utilize it properly. The true answer is that with Gen Z having grown up around AI technology, they will be prepared for the future. They know that AI can do powerful things like take care of repetitive tasks, assist with gathering data on customers, and even manage social media accounts. Gen Z is aware of the dangers and benefits of the new wave of AI and is ready to put it into use.
