Anything AI / ML related will be of high demand in the future. The thing to realize w.r.t is most AI/ML companies have a handful of people doing the actual algorithmic work. Majority of people in those companies tend to be focused on Data, platform and interfaces. Even with the AI trend the standard roles will continue to be relevant. Data is always a good place to be since every business requires some level of data engineering.

Thanks for the response. I’m especially interested in choosing a specialty so that my skills can be useful and repeatable across all sorts of companies
