According to QS World University Rankings, US News, and the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), several STEM fields are expected to experience significant growth in demand by 2030. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning is one such field, with a predicted 22% rise in demand for computer and information research scientists, including AI professionals. Top universities offering programs in this field include Stanford, MIT, and Carnegie Mellon. Data science is another rapidly growing field, with the BLS estimating a 35% increase in demand for data scientists by 2030, with top-notch courses available at UC Berkeley, Harvard, and the University of Washington. Cybersecurity is also expected to grow significantly, with a 33% job growth rate by 2030, led by institutions like the University of Maryland, Stanford, and Georgia Tech. Other fields such as Biomedical Engineering, Robotics Engineering are also experiencing growth in demand, with programs available at top universities like Johns Hopkins, MIT, UC San Diego, Carnegie Mellon, and the University of Michigan.

However, an analysis by OpenAI's Whisper technology revealed that it sometimes inserts false information into transcripts. For instance, a doctor recorded a conversation where a patient attributed their cough to exposure to their child, but the AI incorrectly added this detail. Another example showed that an AI transcription tool assumed a Chinese patient was a computer programmer without any basis in the conversation. Experts warn that while AI has potential benefits for healthcare, its outputs must be thoroughly checked and verified by doctors to ensure accuracy and trustworthiness. Dr. Adam Rodman, an internal medicine doctor and AI researcher at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, expressed concerns that relying on AI could lead to complacency and the degradation of patient care.
