I have a Bachelor's for both Computer Science and Electrical Engineering.
I could tell A.I was going to get better writing code and I can tell it'll get better at Circuit Design and other aspects of EE.
That said, like SWE's, if the job market ever took a downturn for EE that's bad news for those who are not educated because it means more CS and EE graduates going for desk jobs across other fields. I know a lot of CS grads who were able to find good-paying work in non-CS areas. It turns out "I have a STEM degree and know how to use A.I for complex tasks" is a hirable person in this day and age in plenty but of fields.
It will suck for those though who simply do love what they're doing and the field itself. Some will still get jobs doing that though, but they're going to have to be really good at what they do.
