I love Shawn’s articles and thinking style. Both his blog and the latent.space substack have forward-thinking interesting articles around AI engineering. One of the articles that got my attention was the “The rise of the AI engineer“.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, a new breed of technologists is emerging: the AI Engineer. As detailed in a Latent Space’s article, this role transcends the traditional Prompt Engineer to embrace the full potential of software development within the AI realm. The AI Engineer is at the forefront of a generational shift, harnessing the power of Foundation Models and open-source tools to transform complex AI tasks that once demanded years of research into afternoon projects. With the AI industry’s explosive growth, the demand for AI Engineers is skyrocketing, making it the tech job of the decade. These pioneers can be found in the ranks of tech giants and cutting-edge startups alike, shaping the future of AI applications and setting the stage for the next wave of technological innovation.
