Jobs of the future: how self-piloted AI drones are creating exciting new opportunities

Not too long ago, automated flying machines whizzing around the skies were concepts gracing the pages of science fiction novels. Today, drones are used and seen frequently. From capturing incredible aerial shots for documentaries, to inspecting large structures to spot potential weaknesses, drones have become invaluable tools. As the Wright brothers' first successful airplane evolved into the sophisticated aircraft we see today, the very first drones too, have evolved and improved – and are continuing to do so, thanks to artificial intelligence. AI is paving the way for a new generation of self-flying drones, which can carry out tasks without requiring a human operator.
