## Getting discovered by AI

A week ago on Nov. 3, 2015 I got an email from Madrid, Spain:

> "Hi Janne, I am a software engineer and part of the Developer Relations team with [source{d}][sourced], based in Madrid. We are working on improving developer recruitment. We have analyzed your open source contributions on Github and have concluded that your experience could be a good fit for the position of Fullstack Developer at Company XYZ."

I took a look at the website of the head-hunting company the email was sent from, [www.sourced.tech][sourced]:

> "source{d} is a recruitment product built by developers for developers. We analyze over 600 million code contributions in the open source community to match you with the best jobs and contact you only with relevant offers."

Ok, this is cool. There are tons of head-hunting companies around specializing in hunting tech professionals but so far I had not (consciously) come across one utilizing machine learning to such a large extent.

The position they offered at *Company XYZ* had to do with machine learning as well:

> "If selected, you will become part of building a new project aiming to change digital marketing and media. The focus is on creating a media analytics platform which allows for optimal campaign delivery, with predictive analysis built with machine learning and artificial intelligence principles."

## Artificial intelligence (AI) as a game-changer

I have some guesses as to why source{d}'s algorithm picked me as a potential candidate but that's beside the point of this article. The point is that utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) in a myriad of sectors/scopes/domains of application seems to be rapidly increasing. Here's some views into what seems to be coming:

In other words, it seems AI is about to cause some major disruption: creating new opportunities (e.g. head-hunter companies like *source{d}*) but probably also carving tombstones for other fields of business or companies refusing to change. There's also semi-unexpected, arguably controversial and even humoristic uses for machine learning, for example [Tinderbox](https://github.com/crockpotveggies/tinderbox).
