All Developers are Now AI Developers

Worldwide, there are 30 million developers, 300,000 ML engineers, and only 30,000 ML researchers.

For those innovating at the very forefront of ML, the references estimate there may only be ~100 researchers in the world who know how to build a GPT-4 or Claude 3-level system.

The good news is that in the face of these talent shortages, tasks that used to require years of fundamental research and sophisticated ML expertise can now be accomplished in days or weeks by mainstream developers building on top of powerful pre-trained language models.

The future belongs to those who can effectively apply existing AI, not just pioneer new AI. Credits - Armand R
