AI and my Career

Although Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been around as a form of technology for a number of decades, the accelerated development of Generative AI (GenAI) tools and Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude and Microsoft Copilot since November 2022 has meant that all professionals are now having to consider how this wave of technology might impact their working lives.

Considering how AI might affect your career can involve a number of different perspectives; understanding how AI is changing the world and society in a general sense; understanding how AI is changing the sorts of industries or areas of work you might be interested in; and understanding how AI is changing and impacting your day-to-day life and the tasks you have to complete for work, study and personal purposes.

IMPORTANT: The University of Huddersfield has a set of AI Principles that it is important to refer to when considering how you use AI critically and responsibly as a student.
