Making the Transition from Software Engineer to Artificial Intelligence Engineer - DZone AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been around for decades. However, we really didn't realize its potential until about a decade ago. Since then, the planet saw an exponential demand for AI engineers. As the ongoing tech talent shortage shows no signs of improving, it has provided software engineers (who are also in high demand) an opportunity to make the transition and fill the talent gap. To shed some light on transitioning from software engineering to AI engineering, I reached out to Cognitive Implementation Engineer at Ipsoft, Sasho Andrijeski and Codementor developer, Jayen Ashar. People make the transition for many different reasons; for some, it was a childhood passion.
