[IND] Does anyone else think Psychology + AI could create more career opportunities?

Question

I’ve noticed that a lot of psychology students worry they’ve chosen the wrong major because they don’t see many job opportunities after graduation. I’ve had those thoughts too.
But lately I’ve been wondering if combining psychology with AI might change things. AI is growing rapidly, and understanding human behaviour, cognition, emotions, user experience, ethics, and mental health seems like it could become increasingly valuable.
I know AI won’t replace psychologists, but I do think it could create new roles where psychology and technology overlap.
Am I being too optimistic, or do you think Psychology + AI has real potential? Are there any career paths or skills psychology students should start learning now to prepare for this?
