My 9 year old nephew doesn’t know it, but I’m going to give him a mini drone for Christmas. The Low Altitude Economy is coming - and it won’t just be delivery, but also inspection, emergency response, surveying, mapping, tourism - along with all the supporting infra - flight control systems, communication networks, charging/vertiport networks, and data management platforms. It’s a guess, but I think humans+AI will do this work, so should be a future recruitment vertical - if we’re lucky and I am right 🤣
