Okay, so let’s get this out of the way: Artificial Intelligence (AI) sounds super high-tech and complicated, right? Like, you hear “AI job” and instantly imagine a hoodie-wearing coder smashing a keyboard in a dark room full of code. But honestly? That’s just one tiny slice of the whole pie.
AI is showing up everywhere—from hospitals and schools to marketing firms and your favorite online store—and it’s creating jobs for folks who don’t know the first thing about coding. Yep, even if you’re more into words, people, design, strategy, or organizing chaos (hello, project managers), there’s a place for you in this AI-powered world.
