Is AI skill a must have for all modern developers

Question

Is AI truly the future of tech and must all developers have an AI background on the future?
The Demand seems to be growing rapidly.

Answer 1

I dont think that all developers need to have a background in AI. Theres lots of programming where AI has no use in it at all! However, the demand is growing. So I would say it depends on what you would want to do. If you dont want to go into AI, then dont! As there are certainly still non-ai jobs out there.

Developing is just a mean. The real question is what do you want to create
