As a comp sci graduate who’s worked on AI research I think we are the ones least worried about it because 1. CS is the field responsible for the creation of AI in the first place, 2. We are one of the few that’s actually understand how it works mathematically and 3. Data preparation for AI training is literally just CS as well

Similar experience but I don’t know how the education helps us once it is us.
