As parents, sometimes it can be a struggle to relate to what our kids love. Our childhoods were made up of playing Twister on cold nights, wearing shoulder pads as if they were stylish, and thinking Tetris was revolutionary.
These days, kids are fascinated with learning the trending social media dance, using the newest slang (skibidi?), and having AI check the weather or play their favorite song. While we might not be able to keep up with the dances and new words, iD Tech is here to guide you through how AI is impacting every landscape, including college majors and future career options for your child.
1. Farm better with AI
An industry you might not realize uses AI is agriculture. AI can help identify soil deficiencies, provide planting recommendations, analyze weather patterns, and even harvest crops more efficiently. If {{CHILDNAME}} has a green thumb and a love for tech, a degree in Robotics, Engineering, and Autonomous Systems or Machine Learning will help your child combine those passions.
2. Gather marketing insights with AI
If your child has a knack for creativity, social media and marketing is the perfect industry to combine their artistic side with AI. After majoring in Data Science and Analytics, your child can take those skills to a company like Meta or X and program AI to analyze data, generate insights, track consumer behavior, create the perfect image, and more.
3. Revolutionize healthcare with AI
There are many different ways AI is being integrated into healthcare. It can schedule meetings, process data, and transcribe notes. But what’s more incredible is that AI is now being used to track health with wearable devices, interpret body scans, and even assist in surgeries to decrease invasiveness and margin for error! If that sounds like something your child would love, they should consider majors like Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing or Machine Learning.
4. Rule the finance world with AI
Banking has come a long way. By the time your child has their own bank account, they might never even step foot inside a bank! After majoring in Computer Science or Artificial Intelligence, kids and teens will be ready to program systems to help detect fraud, make lending decisions, generate custom insights, automate trading, and more!
5. Streamline education with AI
AI will never replace teachers, but it sure can help them. Kids and teens can streamline the classrooms of today and tomorrow by programming AI that grades homework, schedules meetings, digitizes paper copies to boost accessibility and help students research more efficiently. If this sounds like something your child would love, then it’s time to start striving for a degree in Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing or Artificial Intelligence.
