The growing presence of artificial intelligence is significantly disrupting the business model of training young people in developing countries to secure remote software-related jobs in developed nations. The Chief Executive Officer of Famiscro Group, Ndubuisi Ekekwe, stated this on his official Facebook page on Monday. According to Ekekwe, AI increasingly automates traditional software development, marking the beginning of the end of the coding boom that has swept developing countries like Nigeria.
The technology inventor revealed that the decrease in advertisements for coding schools and coding camps was a clear indication of the impact of AI on the industry. He explained that coding was becoming superfluous, as many coders in leading tech companies were “coding themselves out of jobs”. According to the Famiscro Group CEO, this is because AI is now a team member, reducing the need for a large number of coders.
Ekekwe emphasised that building algorithms, not coding, was where sustainable opportunities would emerge as the AI revolution intensifies. He stressed the importance of mathematics, calling it the “beautiful science of numbers” and the “pillar upon which natural philosophy understanding is built”.
