Help deciding on an area of study for a PhD [closed]
- by ale
I am going to start a PhD in about 1 year. My undergraduate degree is in computer science and my master's is in artificial intelligence.
I want to get ideas about what's going to be hot in say 5 years i.e. what could I spend 3-4 years studying to potentially have expertise that will be applicable to industry and the computing world ? Impossible to answer factually but some ideas and thoughts would be great.
I have narrowed my ideas down to AI (yes, even more AI) and information security. AI seems to becoming popular again but security is always a going to be useful.
From a career point of view, if I were to stay working in software development then this might actually be the best move but I've always wanted to do a PhD!
Many thanks :).
