Should You Learn AI or Cybersecurity?

[Shinpako09]

Both are in demand and are paid well. So, either of these two is a good choice. For me, there’s no need to study both of them since they are both good-paying jobs. Also, dividing your attention and focus is not a good idea, as we all know learning either of these two is not as simple as it seems. I’ve tried learning coding and other IT-related fields that suit me best, but they are not simple at all. Well, they are high-paying jobs after all. So, just choose which one you think fits you more, which one do you see yourself doing in the long run.

"Being late" is the problem, because most are very late. Like for example in my young age, I remember everyone told me to be a coder, which I am not going to lie, I learned a bit and I can code simple stuff, like yeah I can make you a website but at this point wordpress would be better for anyone small lol. But right now?

Coders are getting paid smaller or even getting fired, because EVERYONE at that time was told coding would pay very well so they all became coders and now we have too many of them. So, do not be late.

Today time is different from the past because in the past there was no AI and no cyber security and no person thought there will be number of fields but now there are number of fields in which students can enter and they can be successful in their niche . AI demand is high in Europe and these countries are developed countries and people need to focus on their relevent field and Cyber security is top class field because it's demand is high . People should invest their time on practical things which will make them successful and of they will read only then there is no success because success lie on the continues effort. If you will take degree of diploma of cyber then that will not help you to stand up in your field.

Right now the market is absolutely terrible at pricing security correctly as security benefits are diffuse and long-term. Meanwhile AI benefits are focused and immediate.

If you want to make your money fast, build AI products. The funding's there, the hype is there, everyone wants to be first to market. But you're also building on fundamentally shaky ground because a lot are deploying systems that they don't fully understand at a pace that makes proper security basically impossible.

Threat actors are advanced by technology. They're often ahead because they don't have to worry about regulations or ethics or quarterly earnings. They can be faster, more free to experiment, be able to exploit defects the moment they appear. Which is to say, the security problem is growing exponentially.

Can you be able to think across both at the same time, with an understanding of how they cross over and affect one another? The people that can do that, those are the ones that are going to have sustainable businesses when everybody else is dealing with breach and regulatory backlash. But that requires a different kind of thinking as just "which skill should I learn for maximum profit". It involves actually caring about building things that last as opposed to scale quickly and breaks later.

Most people are not interested in that conversation.

Its useless to continue AI creation if you learn nothing about cybersecurity, so both are crucial in our life so learning them both would be the best option.  Most especially if you want to develop your potentials with the help of AI, then you should learn to maximize learning its usage and advantages because it can be very much helpful to live a good and well productive life.

With cybersecurity, learning to protect your system, networks and data from digital attacks may not that easy but if you have passion with the latest technology and innovations, its best if you can prioritize cybersecurity as well because those threat actors do not fail to evolve their methods and techniques, so as much as possible everyone should be vigilant and should prioritize learning it as well.

I was inspired from a post here that talked about Generational Advantagehttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5574328.0 by Furball808. And it talked about that the Generational Advantage that the newest Generation have is AI Technology. We know that AI itself has many flaws and is not infallible. Especially in its parts where it can be possibly be exploited. Threat actors also advance alongside the newest technology. Now this got me thinking on which field is more in-demand and most importantly, lucrative, to start a business on?

Whether companies should focus more on AI creation, or more Security to safeguard these new AI technologies? Which of these are more important?

Do you like to create systems or you like to secure the system?
Do you like easy ways to do work or you like the real no short cut way.
Do you want to join a more saturated space or a less saturated one.

To me, I will like to create systems while others secure the systems.
It all depends on your ability and inclination.

Learning cybersecurity can never be possible if you don't learn AI itself first, so any one should learn both so that aside that can you maximize your benefits from AI, its safety and protection as well will be assured if you find time to learn cybersecurity as well.

With this current era wherein high technology and innovations are real, its best to get an edge with cybersecurity. Not only you can protect your own network, but you can also protect the bigger portion of AI system if you have cybersecurity knowledge and skills.

[passwordnow]

What if you learn both of it and apply AI and automation to cybersecurity to protect businesses? that's why both are in demand.



Like this article done by fortinet, if it's about the business concern of companies. They want to apply both to their productivity and that's why if you want to learn any of them, you can be into both waters and be a jack of all trades in both ends.

Probably now is the most important time to keep abreast of trends about AI, teaching professions to those who are at risk of AI replacement. AI will replace lawyers, accountants, and marketers.
Many tasks that require computer work will be automated in the near future, said Mustafa Suleiman, head of Microsoft AI. The work of lawyers and accountants, project managers and marketers will be performed by AI in the same way as it has already taken over writing code.
The changes will affect not only office employees. Microsoft AI is working on a medical diagnostic system that, according to Suleiman, will be able to make diagnoses more accurately and cheaper than any team of doctors. The doctor's work will shift towards patient care and emotional support.
This is not just Suleiman's opinion. Experts at the World Economic Forum expect that by 2030, advances in technology will lead to the reduction of 92 million jobs.
The good news is that 170 million new vacancies will appear on the market at the same time: someone will have to develop and manage AI agents.

AI is broad. What aspect of AI are we looking at. Al can be used in cyber security as well so if you must learn cyber security automatically you have to learn AI because that's the order of the day. AI is not a stand alone skill it must be channeled somewhere either in automations, mobile app development, sales analysis and more so learning cyber security entails learning AI as well same applies to ever other discipline because every company needs higher accuracy and high performance results.

I would say that in the current context, you need both. I think the best example for this is viruses and antivirus. Many antivirus companies create viruses to sell their antivirus. Although it was used a long time ago. So if you are only a cybersecurity specialist, then others will be much ahead of you using AI.  If you learn to use AI, then in the cybersecurity business, you can be much ahead of others. Another thing is that the use of AI is not limited to security at present but the use of AI has started in almost all sectors, be it agricultural land or the medical sector. So I want to say that the use of AI is a must.

I disagree, in most cases we are not seeing things that are similar in both fields, it's very difficult to learn cyberscurity and sure AI is hard too if you want advanced level but most people can start it with like a simple hello to chatgpt or gemini whatever, which is not the same here in most cases.

We need to make sure that we can do a fine job on the long run if we insist on the same thing with anything in the world, like work hard and you will learn, but it's easier to do AI than cybersecurity.

Both of them are actually very lucrative and good career choices, learning how to use Ai to create videos and other graphics to post on social media can fetch you a lot of money and you can also use Ai for other purposes as well. Cybersecurity is a good one as well, a lot of  companies look for people with such expertise most especially bet companies. whichever one you decide to go for would be good.

Whether companies should focus more on AI creation, or more Security to safeguard these new AI technologies? Which of these are more important?

AI and cyber security both are the market on fire right now. Here one is better than the other, not so. Rather what line do you want to play and what direction is the tech world turning? The AI ​​market is now growing at a rocket pace and all major companies are now chasing smart system and automation. Due to this the demand for machine learning engineers or data scientists is skyrocketing

The cyber security game is not over yet. As many organizations as there are in the world everyone need a strong security pro to save data and prevent hacker. And with the shortage of worker in this line all over the world it is much safer to survive here and be a long racehorse

[silpersurfer]

The demand for both will be high by the year 2038, so yes it is a good one for anybody to learn. The both will not be easily displaced by Artificial intelligence.

Lastly, if I'm to add to this, it will be to maximise your mathematics skills. I'm beginning to gravitate towards that way.

It's great that you can predict that it will be in demand in 2038, who knows what tools you use to predict that, I'm very interested in having it, but if you measure it by the speed of technological growth and the distribution of technology, I think it will be faster before 2038, because we can see that AI is now very easy to adopt nowadays as a new technology and increasing like crazy in this industry

[Satofan44]

You don't have a choice between learning AI and Cybersecurity if your aim is to become a specialist of cybersecurity. There is no profession as an AI specialist because AI can do many things and its role is to help you improve productivity in your specialty. I've had a discussion about AI and programming with friends and many of them said that Cybersecurity is the best profession to get these days because the demand is high, it's less saturated than web development or other professions and even with AI, companies will need cybersecurity specialists for safety.
Just learn Cyber Security and use AI as your helper, which will save you lots of time and make your work easier.

What nonsense are you talking about? AI experts are the currently most paid employees of the world, far beyond anything that anyone earns. Yes, there is such as thing as "AI specialty" you are just being an idiot who is confusing using AI with building AI. Literally in the OP's post he is talking about "AI creation".

Whether companies should focus more on AI creation, or more Security to safeguard these new AI technologies? Which of these are more important?

People who are specialized in engineering and developing AI systems are not specialized for cybersecurity. While these things are intertwined and cybersecurity is needed everywhere in the technology stack, people are usually specialized in that field and then in a sub-field of cybersecurity. There is no such thing as a general cybersecurity "specialist" that could be utilized in every part of the architecture. Some are specialized on software, others on hardware, but even within those large groupings there are many sub specializations. Cybersecurity is more important than this junk that we call "artificial intelligence" these days, and without cybersecurity the world would come to a halt and people would start killing themselves when they lose access to their social media platforms and other junk addictions that they have. We can live without "AI" just fine, but we can't live without cybersecurity in the digital age.

It would be best for a company to focus on both, build knowledge and skills from both.

If you want to gain an edge over other companies, you have to seriously adapt AI because it brings out the best outcome for any good company. Companies that are on the top these days are definitely applying AI in their tasks and jobs.

Cybersecurity is as important as AI. It protects all your data files, your whole network and the system, and having skills in cybersecurity will always become an asset in the company.
