How Will Artificial Intelligence Impact Your Career

How should professionals enhance their skills in an environment of emerging artificial intelligence and automation? In the future environment of artificial intelligence and automation, it’s important to focus on developing skills that are difficult to automate. This includes skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, creativity, and emotional intelligence.

It's also important to develop a deep understanding of the technology and how it can be used to benefit businesses and organizations. Additionally, it's important to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in artificial intelligence and automation, as well as to be aware of the potential risks and benefits associated with these technologies.

What's the best way to assess the risks and benefits of emerging technologies? The best way is to create a risk assessment process that's tailored to the particular technology, which should include a gap analysis, risk mapping, and stakeholder engagement. The process should analyze the potential risks and benefits of the technology from a variety of angles and perspectives, including safety and security, environmental and social impact, and economic and legal considerations.

Additionally, it’s important to involve stakeholders such as industry experts, regulators, and users in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the risks and benefits of the technology. What are the most future-proof career choices? Here's a list, 1) Data scientist, 2) Cloud computing, 3) Artificial Intelligence, 4) Cybersecurity, 5) Web development, 6) Software engineering, 7) Robotics, 8) UX/UI design, user experience or user interface design, 9) Blockchain, 10) Machine learning.

What are the best ways to acquire high-demand skills in the workplace of the future? Number one, take online courses and/or certifications. With the advent of online learning, there are now a plethora of courses and certifications available to help individuals acquire the skills they need to stay competitive in the workplace. Many of these courses provide interactive learning environments, allowing learners to gain hands-on experience and practice the skills they're learning.

Second, participate in professional development programs. Many companies offer professional development programs and classes to help employees stay up to date with the latest trends and technologies in the workplace. Participating in these programs can help individuals acquire the necessary skills to stay competitive in the workplace.

Third, pursue additional education. Pursuing a degree or additional certification can be an effective way to acquire the skills necessary to compete in the workplace. Doing so can also provide individuals with the opportunity to gain valuable experience in their chosen field. Fourth, network with professionals. Networking with professionals in the industry can provide individuals with valuable insight into the skills that are in high demand in the workplace. Additionally, it can provide individuals with the opportunity to make valuable connections that may help them in their careers.

Fifth, participate in Industry events. Participating in industry events can provide individuals with the chance to learn from…and that's where the bot stopped. Everything I just said with the exception of the four questions I posed were generated through the GPT-3 artificial intelligence portal. The content you just read was not mine or any other person's.

I could have known exactly zero about any of the topics and published this episode just the same. Is that surprising to you? Is the content I shared thus far useful? I want to take a moment to thank my brother Greg Dardick for inspiring the idea for this episode. He's an IT executive with the Hartford Group. He told me about the GPT. Artificial intelligence is in its very early stages but it's already transforming nearly all areas of human endeavor. Do you remember learning about the Industrial Revolution in school? Were you taught that you were growing up in the information age? Whatever the next age will be called, we’re now in it. Among the biggest questions have to do with how humans remain employable as AI and automation become comparably competent in some fields and superior to others.

How did this AI do in replacing me? Did the first portion of this episode strike you differently when compared with past episodes? If so, how was it either superior or disappointing? In my work as a writer and as an interpersonal communication consultant, I felt fairly future-proof. This episode shows how that may not in fact be the case. That means that among my other developmental initiatives, I need to incorporate emergent tools.

Let me ask GPT-3. How should writers use AI? Here was its answer. Writers can use AI to help them with tasks such as editing, research, and outlining. AI can also be used to generate ideas and concepts, as well as help with the organization of a writer's work. AI can also help writers develop their own style and voice, as well as help them to create more accurate and detailed content.

Here's a follow-up question. How should organizations incorporate AI and their people strategy? The answer, organizations can incorporate AI into their people strategy by utilizing AI for recruiting, performance reviews, and employee retention. AI can be used to automate and streamline recruitment processes such as screening resumes and conducting video interviews. AI can also be used in performance reviews to provide more accurate feedback and to gain deeper insights into employee performance. Furthermore, AI can be used to predict employee turnover and to recommend strategies to retain employees.

Finally, AI can be used to recommend training and development programs that are tailored to the individual needs of each employee. How about your career? The AI already gave us some ideas but we all need to stay ahead of the curve so we may avoid a future where our skills no longer command a paycheck. That caused me to ask the AI, what we should read to be better equipped for the workplace of the future.

We all need to stay ahead of the curve so we may avoid a future where our skills no longer command a paycheck.

Here is the list it generated. 1) The Fourth Industrial Revolution by Klaus Schwab. Number, 2)The Future of Work: Robots, AI, and Automation by Darrell West, 3) Predicts 2019: The Year Artificial Intelligence and Automation Take Over by Jeff Bussgang, 4) The AI Advantage: How to Put the Artificial Intelligence Revolution to Work by Thomas Davenport and Rajeev Ronanki, 5) The Inevitable: Understanding the 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape Our Future by Kevin Kelly, 6) The Future of the Professions: How Technology Will Transform the Work of Human Experts by Richard and Daniel Susskind, 7) The Industries of the Future by Alec Ross, 8) The End of Jobs: Money, Meaning and Freedom Without the 9-to-5 by Taylor Pearson, 9) Automate This: How Algorithms Came to Rule Our World by Christopher Steiner, and 10) AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order by Kai-Fu Lee.

Happy reading. If you're not much of a reader stay tuned. We'll be looking at this topic closely in the days to come. I invite you to the inquiry with me. I'm working on a program to do this very thing. I'll share more in the weeks ahead. Let's go.
