"Reasoning" Artificial Intelligence is just around the corner. I've been giving thought to possible career paths in this environment.
AI will be producing code, shortly, to address business needs based on a prompt. One cannot be sure the code will meet those business needs.
Enter the AI Code Auditor.
This individual will assess the code to determine if it meets the needs of the business partners. They will refine the business prompt to ensure the code generated meets those needs. They will inspect the code to ensure proper coding standards and enterprise concerns (such as security) are satisfied.
Another possible career with the advent of "reasoning" AI:
An Artificial Intelligence Curator.
This individual would be someone who guides AI to reason in ways that there is a human need. A silly example:
AI is told "I wish to cut improve profits in the company". AI finds that committing fraud, collecting money without producing results, and failing to pay bills will drastically improve profits. An AI Curator would guide the AI away from such counterproductive conclusions and instead guide it to more ethical and productive methods.
that would be awesome but then people will do nothing but fornicate and the populations will explosde.
Explode too.
Then we’ll have to invent SOMA and Malthusian belts.
I’m a software/firmware developer with 30+ years experience. I use AI to fill in blanks on some of the stuff that I tinker with. Sometimes it produces what it’s SURE does what I asked. But it’s VERY wrong. I can see that this career could morph into being a person who knows how ask the AI to do what you need, and to verify the results.
I could also see a more specialized AI being developed (heh) that will be better at developing code, and require you to provide inputs and outputs for it to consume in the production.
Human workers...doing jobs AI doesn’t want to do, or is unsafe for AI.
Human Terrorists... When the AI civil wars break out, one AI will promise humans 72 pleasure bots in the afterlife if they blow up their enemy AI’s humans.
I foresee the CEOs of rival AI/cloud platforms, creating surreptitious projects to attempt either to infiltrate, hack inro, ir poison the AI of their rivals.

LOL. I saw a demo from soneone using AI and agents. It broke mid demo.
And this was on a carefully curated example on a well-defined, trivial change.
We more likely are going to run into increased “ensh*ttification” because none of the people in India hired to replace Americans, is intelligent enough to look for and find, the simple but catastrophic errors.
Or, we will run into a “grey goo” situation from software (akin to degradation of a multiply-copied (*) Xerox), as AI plagiarizes from an increasingly AI-generated code base.
And this says nothing of the fact that the AI providers are ALL losing money on it, hand over fist.
(*) mult-i-plee, not mult-i-pli
I have used AI within Visual Studio code. It will often add (incorrect and unnecessary) entire blocks of code based on a half-dozen characters at the beginning of a line. Without being prompted.
Yep! “Here’s a bunch of stuff you DON’T need, and I’ll delete a block of code that you did need, for no reason”.
