We take a frank look at AI’s impact on low voltage and networking, from estimators and PMs to installers and engineers. Expect honest talk on what jobs change first, which skills pay off, and how to use AI without losing your edge.
• near-term risk for estimators, PMs, customer support via AI efficiency
• installers safer today yet exposed as robotics advances
• standards, grounding, firestop, and transmission basics as career moat
• predictive troubleshooting reducing break-fix firefights
• labs, certifications, and layer 1 mastery still critical
• AI-guided installs, image checks, and documentation at scale
• blueprint takeoffs, BOMs, and bids improved by AI tools
• shipping, firmware, and QA workflows automated to cut DOA
• merging lines between installers and engineers under AI
• five-year view of top-tier pros using agents and live audits
• human communication as the standout skill
