Generative AI has turned coding from a specialized skill into something anyone can do with a simple prompt. A warehouse owner is revolutionizing his shipping software with AI and a creative designer vibe coded her first app with zero technical experience.

Why it matters for your wallet: Every major AI industry move creates earning opportunities — from new tools to invest in, skills to learn, or markets to enter. Tracking these developments is how you stay ahead.
