• Artificial intelligence is now the top priority for major tech firms.
• Software engineers know they need to do more than just code to stay relevant in the AI era.
• But the way forward isn't to push back against AI — it's to embrace it, they tell BI.

Software engineers know that the days of simply being able to code are behind them.

After all, artificial intelligence taking over jobs is not new — numerous tech giants over the past two years announced that they were axing jobs to focus more on artificial intelligence development.

Last year, Google slashed 12,000 jobs — 6% of its then workforce — as the company began shifting its priorities toward AI.
