CS Bachelor’s degrees, unlikely. There’s already substantial, growing interest. (they make up roughly 2.5% of awarded degrees in the US right now, roughly 50k of 2M, and for comparison all of engineering makes up ~10% of degrees—though obviously “interest in” is far away from “awarded degree”)
Master’s degrees in ML, also unlikely, but I could imagine a semi-plausible scenario where public opinion in the software industry suddenly decided they would be valuable for repositioning careers going forward. I’d be surprised if that happened, though, especially by the end of 2023, unless the metric is something like Google search trends.
5-10% YoY is baseline for CS in the US right now. (ironclad stats are a bit hard to come by, given vagaries in what counts as a CS degree, but ex. here’s a claim that awarded CS degrees increased 12% in 2020)
I’m willing to bet it will be less than 2x.
I’ve updated that 5x would be high. There aren’t that many candidate people available to switch from other things, is my guess.

Hah, I read that as 5-10%, which I guess would be realistic.
