Science Communicator
Science Communicators play a vital role in bridging the gap between complex scientific concepts and the general public. By making science accessible and engaging, they inspire curiosity and foster a better understanding of crucial issues, from climate change to health innovations, impacting lives across the UK and beyond.
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.
