Yellow Tail Tech Offers a Clear Path for Career Changers to Thrive in an Era of Automation

MARYLAND CITY, MD / ACCESS Newswire / July 22, 2025 / 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.

About Yellow Tail Tech

Yellow Tail Tech helps adults with no IT background build rewarding careers in technology. Through live instruction, hands-on labs, and personalized career coaching, the company empowers learners to develop in-demand skills and step confidently into the future of work.

Its supportive community and structured programs make career changes achievable for anyone, regardless of age or experience.

How agentic AI, dynamic infrastructure, and seamless integrations reshape enterprise logistics from the inside out, starting at the last mile.

BLOOMINGTON, MN / ACCESS Newswire / July 22, 2025 / Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer just hype; it’s becoming the operational core of modern logistics. Dispatch CEO and Co-Founder Andrew Leone shares how agentic AI is transforming the last mile from reactive to predictive, from manual to orchestrated.

“AI isn’t just helping us think faster, it’s helping us act faster,” Leone said. “It’s optimizing routes, rerouting deliveries in real time, and integrating across systems to improve performance at scale.”

AI in Action: From Tools to Team Members

Dispatch’s platform harnesses agentic AI to power logistics workflows that adapt in real time. These systems reroute failed deliveries, flag risks before they escalate, and model dynamic costs. They don’t just respond — they learn, improve, and act.

“We treat AI like a team member,” Leone explained. “It needs training, responsibilities, and escalation paths. When done right, it amplifies human judgment instead of replacing it.”

Infrastructure & Integration: The Missing Links

Real AI impact requires more than point solutions. Dispatch builds dynamic infrastructure that supports fast-changing models, adaptable toolsets, and deep integrations across ERPs, CRMs, and delivery networks.

“AI works best when it sees the full picture, inventory, traffic, customer needs, and acts within that context,” Leone noted. “Our goal is to unify decision-making across the company and use it to support our customers and drivers.”

Upskilling & Urgency

As AI scales, Dispatch also helps teams develop AI fluency, from prompt design to systems thinking. Leone urges companies not to wait for perfection:

“The technology is moving fast. The winners will be those who invest now in infrastructure, talent, and adaptability.”

With AI embedded at its core, Dispatch is helping enterprise businesses build supply chains that are faster, resilient, integrated, and intelligent by design.

About Dispatch: Dispatch is redefining last-mile delivery for the modern business.

ICE’s Deputy Director Warns of “violence.”

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / July 22, 2025 / Coquí, a groundbreaking mobile app built by and for immigrant communities, has officially launched. Developed in partnership with Rapid Response Networks nationwide, the free app enables verified users to send and receive real-time alerts about nearby immigration enforcement activity.

During a recent CBS interview, ICE Deputy Director Madison Sheahan claimed concerns that Coquí “can cause users to go and cause violence.” The backlash was immediate. Advocates, legal experts, and Coquí users swiftly condemned the remarks as inflammatory and baseless. Fact check: there is no evidence that Coquí has ever been used for incitement or interference of any kind.

“When fear wins, they win,” said the founder of Coquí. “If you love this country and its people, standing up for your neighbors isn’t a threat – it’s a duty.”

Named after the small but resilient Puerto Rican tree frog, Coquí is rooted in community strength and designed with safety in mind. As part of its ongoing rollout, the Coquí team announced two new features launching this week:

• Coquí Communities will allow users to create, manage, and join trusted private groups within the app.

• Coquí Allies will pin local businesses on the map, highlighting “safe spots” and those standing in solidarity with immigrant communities.

The app is encrypted, collects no personal data, masks user locations, and employs anti-trolling protocols to protect users.

“You have a choice,” said the founder of Coquí. “Stand with us.”

ABOUT COQUI
Coquí is a secure, anonymous mobile app designed to help immigrant communities share and receive real-time information about immigration enforcement activity. Built by grassroots organizers, technologists, and advocates, Coquí supports safety, solidarity, and resistance through smart, community-first technology.
