"There’s something that we don’t want to lose, and that’s the author’s voice. That voice is threatened by AI: if, instead of engaging with authors, people engage with the anonymous voice that comes out of applications like ChatGPT or Claude, they will lose the context, the background. They’ll be presented with a simple “solution” stripped of experience." Check out Mike Loukides' byline on The AI Journal for more insights: https://bit.ly/4lso2Am

Since appeared on the scene, we’ve known that big changes were coming to computing. But it’s taken a few years for us to understand what they were. Now, we’re starting to understand what the future will look like. It’s still hazy, but we’re starting to see some shapes—and the shapes don’t look like “we won’t need to program any more.” But what will we need? Find out in article by our Mike Loukides:

"According to a 2024 study by the University of Birmingham's City-REDI institute if left unaddressed, digital skills shortages could cost the UK economy up to £27.6 billion by 2030, with over 380,000 full-time jobs potentially at risk. Recent insights from O'Reilly reinforce this urgency, revealing that one in three UK workers say opportunities for tech-related learning and development (L&D) have either stagnated or declined over the past year."
