Diversity in Entering the Field of Artificial Intelligence
The President of Sharif University also emphasized that the gateway to the world of information technology and artificial intelligence is not solely through Computer Engineering. He urged candidates not to think that they must choose this field to enter the realm of artificial intelligence. According to him, tools related to artificial intelligence are general, and students can engage in successful activities in this area through various fields such as Industrial Engineering, Management, Economics, Mechanical Engineering, and Civil Engineering.
Tajrishi stated that the notion that one must study Computer Engineering to succeed in the world of artificial intelligence is incorrect, and he stressed the importance of diversity in field selection. He said: "Young people should pay attention to the fact that by choosing a field they are interested in, they can also achieve significant success in the field of artificial intelligence."
Consequences of Incorrect Field Selection
These remarks by Tajrishi are particularly significant at a time when young people are seeking a more secure career future. Incorrect field selection can have a direct impact on the career prospects and individual capabilities of candidates. For this reason, Tajrishi urged candidates to carefully consider their field selection and pay attention to their interests and abilities.
He also advised families to assist their children in the field selection process and guide them in choosing a field that aligns with their interests and talents. This can help create motivation and also increase their success in their future careers.
