You do not need any technical background to become extremely competent at leveraging generative AI.  It is more about understanding the business problem you are trying to solve than anything else.  Anyone can become a competent 'prompt engineer' with practice and patience.  Not all people are good at framing questions, understanding what a successful outcome or solution looks like, or operating strategically vs. tactically.  Fortunately, generative AI is already so incredibly good that it largely levels the playing field and helps overcome whatever limitations may exist.  Investing in mastery of these tools is a life-or-death career decision for many.  Those who succeed will be massively more productive and effective vs. those who resist.  It is no different from the invention of the PC, except that it is far easier to get the benefit out of AI vs. early PCs.  The barrier to entry is lower in every regard.  Anyone and everyone should become a 'prompt engineer' regardless of role or experience - with no technical skill required.
