A fear of the unknown is casting doubt on the future of computer science as a stable career choice, says Professor Kevin Gary, associate director of student affairs in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of the Fulton Schools. Recent enrollment at ASU of new students in computer science and software engineering degree programs has dipped by more than 1,000 students in the recent years. Some students and faculty members say artificial intelligence technology, or AI, has planted a seed of uncertainty in students about the prospects of a computer science career. Others point out that AI is on path to impact many career fields, so faculty members say the answer is not avoiding change but learning how to adapt to it.
