Materials Scientist
Materials Scientists are at the forefront of innovation, shaping the future of technology and sustainability through the study and development of new materials. Their work is crucial in various sectors, including aerospace, healthcare, and renewable energy, making a significant impact on global challenges such as climate change and resource scarcity.
AI helps here, but has not taken over
AI can already do some of this job, but the day-to-day work still leans on a person to decide, check and take responsibility. Nothing formally protects this job though, so the safest move is to keep building the judgement AI cannot yet copy.
