Transitioning to Tech During the AI Frenzy? Yellow Tail Tech Makes It Possible
MARYLAND CITY, MD / ACCESS Newswire As artificial intelligence reshapes industries at breakneck speed, millions of workers are wondering: Will my job survive the AI revolution? From automated customer support to AI-driven logistics and smart manufacturing, technology is transforming how businesses operate – and how people build careers.
While these changes have sparked fear about job losses and disruption, experts at Yellow Tail Tech say the AI frenzy is also creating unprecedented opportunities for those willing to reskill and embrace new technologies.
'AI isn't just taking jobs – it's creating entire categories of work that didn't exist five years ago,' said Jubee Vilceus, CEO and co-founder of Yellow Tail Tech, a training company helping adults with no IT background launch technology careers. 'The people who thrive will be those who learn how to work alongside intelligent systems rather than fear them.'
The AI Tidal Wave Is Here
Recent data from the World Economic Forum forecasts that automation and AI will disrupt at least 85 million jobs by 2030, but they will also generate 97 million new roles that require a blend of technical expertise, problem-solving, and human judgment.
Across every sector – healthcare, finance, education, retail – organizations are racing to adopt AI-powered tools. These tools are designed to help businesses work faster, reduce errors, and make smarter decisions. But most people overlook a critical detail: all that intelligence needs to run on something, and that something is a massive computing infrastructure.
The Invisible Engine Behind AI
With the rise of artificial intelligence and large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and Claude, the need for computing power is exploding.
Some experts estimate that the compute demand from AI models is increasing by 100X, and it's not slowing down. But AI doesn't just exist in the cloud-it lives on physical machines: high-performance servers housed in data centers around the world.
These data centers don't run themselves.
Behind every AI-powered chatbot, recommendation engine, or autonomous system is a complex stack of infrastructure, most of which runs on Linux. Linux is the operating system of choice for more than 90% of the world's cloud infrastructure, including servers used by Google, Amazon, Meta, and most government institutions.
'This is the part people don't see,' Jubee explained. 'They hear about AI automating everything, but they don't realize there's a huge demand for people who can maintain, secure, and optimize the systems AI runs on.'
That demand isn't going away. If anything, it's growing faster than ever.
AI may change what we see on the surface – automated emails, personalized recommendations, voice assistants – but behind it are teams of infrastructure professionals who configure networks, troubleshoot systems, and make sure everything runs smoothly. And those professionals need to understand Linux.
Can Today's Workforce Survive the AI Transition?
Many mid-career professionals worry they will be left behind. According to Yellow Tail Tech, it is possible to transition successfully, especially for those who take proactive steps to upskill.
'People underestimate how much transferable experience they already have,' Paloma added. 'Skills like communication, project management, and critical thinking are still invaluable. You just need to layer on technical knowledge.'
Yellow Tail Tech has seen thousands of students pivot from fields like retail, hospitality, and administration into technology roles in less than a year. Their success proves that with the right guidance, ordinary professionals can become extraordinary contributors to the AI economy.
That is why Yellow Tail Tech's programs were created specifically for adult learners with no IT background. Their flagship Lnx for Jobs program teaches Linux system administration – a foundational skill that supports nearly every major AI and cloud infrastructure deployment.
Tips for Coping with AI's Impact on Your Career
To help workers feel less overwhelmed by AI's rapid expansion, Yellow Tail Tech recommends the following strategies:
1. Stay Informed, Not Panicked
The first step is understanding which technologies are emerging in your field. Subscribe to industry newsletters, attend webinars, and explore how AI is being applied in your sector. Knowledge replaces fear with clarity.
2. Identify Transferable Skills
List the strengths you already have – like customer service, process improvement, or team leadership. These capabilities often translate well to tech-adjacent roles, such as project coordinator, support specialist, or operations analyst.
3. Learn the Basics of Automation
Familiarity with tools like Linux, cloud platforms, and simple scripting can make you more adaptable. Even foundational knowledge gives you the confidence to collaborate with technical teams.
4. Choose a Specialization
As AI grows, companies need specialists to maintain and secure their systems. Roles like Linux System Administrator, Cloud Support Specialist, and DevOps Engineer are in high demand because they enable automation to function effectively.
5. Build a Professional Network
Surround yourself with peers who are also transitioning to tech. Networking can lead to mentorship, job referrals, and valuable insights about emerging trends.
6. Seek Structured Training
Instead of piecing together random tutorials, enroll in a program designed to take you from beginner to job-ready. Yellow Tail Tech's Lnx for Jobs offers a guided path with instructor-led lessons and career coaching.
Building a Future-Proof Career
As AI continues to transform industries, the ability to adapt will define professional success. Workers who take the initiative to learn foundational technologies and build specialized skills will be better prepared to thrive in the coming decade.
Jubee concluded that AI is not something to run away from but rather something to embrace. He emphasized that by investing in skills today, professionals will be ready to help shape what comes next.

IPO market heats up: These 4 names prepare to go public next
EquityZen head of market insight Brianne Lynch joins Market Domination with Josh Lipton to discuss the initial public offering (IPO) market in light of Figma's (FIG) recent public debut and whether companies need to have an artificial intelligence (AI) story to succeed. She also shares which private companies are likely to go public next. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Domination. Which are the possible candidates in your opinion, that would be on your radar, who might be willing to test the public markets this year? Sure. So, you know, several of the names on our IPO outlook for the year have already gone public. But there are a few that we're still waiting on. One of the big ones being Klarna. This is a company that was planning to go public in the spring, tabled those plans given the volatility in the market post deliberation day. Uh but they're reportedly now looking at a September IPO. So that'll be, um, the next of several Fintech IPOs we've seen. You had Circle, um, Chime, eToro. So certainly, uh, Fintech is an area where we're seeing more activity and given Klarna's brand recognition, um, and you know, value in the market, that's one we have our eyes on. Right now if you're going to go public, Brian, do you have to have an AI story? Do you have to be able to just sprinkle some of that AI magic on your S-1? Yeah. I would say at a minimum you have to try. And Figma, you know, that's something that played into their story as well. They had so many case studies of their large enterprise clients saving, you know, lots of time and money because of the AI tools that they've built into their products. So, I think that's a table stake for any company that is looking to go public. And that might be the best option for public market investors at the time because you have to remember a lot of these pure play AI companies are still very young in their life cycle. They're less likely to be going public in the next few years. So yes, that's bringing more investors into the private markets to invest. Uh but to kind of capitalize on that interest, public companies or contenders to go public will also need to have that as part of their story. Do you think there there are certain kinds of private companies, Brian, that would be more likely to receive a warm welcome to the public markets in in this environment against this backdrop? Sure. I mean, we've seen a few examples of what has worked. You know, I talked about a little bit about the need for growth, the need for profitability, but when we look at the companies that may be coming next or even the IPOs we've seen in the first half of the year, it hasn't been just one sector or one industry. You've seen Fintech, um, you've seen crypto, which is obviously growing a lot and given, you know, the regulatory tailwinds, uh, we expect that to continue to be a hot market. Um, but then, you know, Netskope, another name on our outlook, that's a cybersecurity company. Um, StubHub, another one. That's an e-commerce player. So, it's definitely not a, you know, one sector narrative that's driving the market. It's more are you growing? Are you profitable? Do you have the brand name? Um, and do you have a a story that's exciting to investors, uh, especially, uh, given the lack of public companies relative to private companies now.
