Is "AI Security Architect" a realistic long-term goal for a beginner?

Hey everyone,
I’m a beginner currently studying for my first certs. I originally wanted to go into Pentesting, but I’m worried the field is going to change too much because of AI by the time I’m actually qualified.

I’ve been looking at the "AI Security Architect" path instead. Is this a "real" career path yet, or is it still too niche? I’m looking for something future-proof that won't be automated away in 5-10 years.

Would love to hear from anyone working in AppSec or Architecture. Is it worth aiming for AI-specific security right now, or should I just stick to the basics for now?

I know this is a marathon, not a sprint, but I’d love some clarity before I sink thousands of hours into a specific niche. Thanks!
