A Futurist’s Guide to Curing AI Anxiety

Job-specific skills are important, but to truly shine in the workplace, power skills are essential (by the way, who still calls them soft skills?). These are the skills that make us human: curiosity, agility, resilience, nuanced feedback, and creative problem-solving. AI can quickly analyze data, improve processes and perform tasks; but it’s humans that take it further by applying the nuance, cultural context, and timing to make it work better.
To alleviate anxiety about AI taking our jobs, our effort should lie in sharpening the skills that make us inherently human. There may be a day when an AI coworker can read social context just as quickly and sift through a catalog of comebacks. But until then, the future belongs to those who can navigate complexity by communicating effectively, leveraging creativity, and staying curious.
