Remote Sensing Specialist
Remote sensing specialists use satellites and cameras that fly high in the sky to see what is happening on Earth. They study images to help with things like watching crops grow, tracking forests, planning cities, and spotting damage after storms.
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.
