The article discusses the uncertainty of the future demand for Machine Learning (ML) specialists and the value of a master's degree in ML. The author suggests that it's too early to predict whether ML will still be a sought-after skill in three years, or whether it could become oversaturated or obsolete. They also hint at the possibility that a master's degree in ML could become highly valuable.
The author also notes that currently, cutting-edge tech companies struggle to find enough qualified ML candidates. They question whether there are faster ways to become qualified in ML than obtaining a master's degree, given the relatively new emergence of ML master's programs.
Key takeaways:
The future of Machine Learning (ML) is uncertain and could either be maxed out or highly in demand in three years.
Currently, cutting edge tech companies are struggling to find as many qualified candidates as they want.
It's unclear whether a masters degree in ML will be a valuable asset in the future job market.
There might be faster ways to become qualified in ML than obtaining a masters degree.
