Going back to school when you're 32 to escape AI replacement

I'm currently a software engineer with 5 years of experience. Seeing how the AI advancements are really rapid and massive I am really considering going back to school instead of getting unemployed because of AI making less software jobs in the future.

Honestly I don't know what to study that will not be replaced by AI. Perhaps medical profession? Or something with a human touch? I do have savings to cover re-education and living costs and so I am considering it now before re-education becomes more expensive if I delay this decision.

Or maybe stick with IT and learn how to use AI? I am not sure on what the best thing to do is. I also want to re-study now before I get too old. How are you grown-ups, working in IT, navigate this change? Do you quit IT or double-down on it?
