What Is Expected of IT Professionals
Lecturer Hisaya Tanaka (Professors)
Summary

Rapid advancements in generative AI are transforming our society in unprecedented ways. AI has taken on some of the intellectually demanding work involved in creating documents, translating, analyzing, and programming, leading to significant changes in the responsibilities of IT professionals. IT professionals cannot simply focus on developing and operating systems but will now be expected to design frameworks in which people and AI collaborate to create new value. As AI technologies are being integrated into society, it is essential that IT professionals be able to properly evaluate decisions made with AI while maintaining a conscientious awareness of societal issues such as ethics, security, and privacy.
In this lecture, along with an overview of how industries and work practices transform when living with AI, we will also look at the responsibilities and skillsets companies look for in IT professionals. Furthermore, we will examine the qualities of a thriving IT professional in the age of AI while touching upon the importance of developing logical thinking, identifying issues, and communication skills—skills that we seek to cultivate through our graduate studies.
