The role of AI professionals

Transformer-driven AI is connecting everything to everything, everywhere. Machines communicate directly with other machines. AI-driven IoT signals trigger automated decisions without human intervention. NLP algorithms send automated reports, summaries, emails, advertisements, and more.

AI specialists must adapt to this new era of increasingly automated tasks, including transformer model implementations. AI professionals will have new functions. If we list transformer NLP tasks that an AI specialist will have to do, from top to bottom, it appears that some high-level tasks require little to no development from an AI specialist. An AI specialist can be an AI guru, providing design ideas, explanations, and implementations.

The pragmatic definition of what a transformer represents for an AI specialist will vary with the ecosystem.

Let’s go through a few examples:

• API: The OpenAI API does not require an AI developer. A web designer...
