The artificial intelligence revolution is transforming not only tech companies but also various other sectors of the economy. Omer Tepper, CEO of the consulting firm Sheldor, explained how the AI revolution is changing the field and influencing the type of employees he seeks. "I care less about what you studied. We are looking for people with a background of excellence, even if it's in sports or a hobby," Tepper stated.
