🎯 Introduction: From Tea Stall Talks to the Future of Jobs
It’s 10 p.m. Rajib and Tanvir, two friends, are sitting at a tea stall in Old Dhaka. Rajib is studying computer science, and Tanvir is studying accounting. Tanvir says, “Bro, did you hear? Amazon runs stores without cashiers using AI!”
Rajib laughs and replies, “It’s not just Amazon. Even we software developers are worried about AI now.”
This casual conversation reveals one thing:
Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a technology—it is transforming our job future.
In this blog, we’ll explore:
