Adopt this mindset in the age of AI

Artificial intelligence is going to change how so many of us do our jobs. So if you're wondering what skills you really need to adapt and thrive, you're not alone. Today in Fast Company, the chief people officer at Databricks, Amy Reichanadter, makes the case for the type of employee hiring managers should be on the lookout for—and it's not just workers with a deep background in data science. "Enterprises should be on the hunt for individuals who can grow and adapt to what’s ahead," she writes. "Companies building or leveraging AI tools need people who are flexible, agile, and intellectually curious." The good news is, if you're proactively exploring how AI can (and will) affect your job, you're on the right track. Read on to learn how to ensure that this intellectual curiosity comes through in the interview process:

Overcoming obstacles and breaking through ceilings takes grit, determination, and a growth mindset. It requires you to continuously question, challenge, and break free from limiting beliefs - aka sticky floors - that may inadvertently hold you back. In the face of adversity, it's easy to let doubt creep in. To let the voices in your head tell you that you're not good enough or capable enough of achieving your dreams. But if there's one thing I've learned throughout my journey as an ceiling breaker and keynote speaker, it's this: ???????? ???????? ???? ???????? ???????????????? ??????????. Limiting beliefs are simply barriers that you've built in your mind; they're not real until you give them power over your actions. It’s not easy but shifting from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset opens up new possibilities for success. Don’t be afraid of failure. Embrace it as a learning opportunity instead of an endgame. What limiting beliefs are holding YOU back? Are you ready to shift your mindset? Let's shatter some ceilings together! ?????? ???? ??????!

Are you a late or early adopter? I agree with this article and premise that those who embrace changes, to adapt, learn and help others to move to every brave new world, on the horrizon, is a valuable skill for the future. My contention is the best and most valuable skill for the future is a persons ability to be curious about everything, seek and adapt, to emerging technology and then lead others to do the same, at amazing speed. If you do, you can create your future and bring others on an exciting and career long ride, with lows and highs! Hands in the air, it’s going to be a great ride, build yours TODAY!

The advancement of AI has made me realize one thing... It's a lot like equipping ourselves with a state-of-the-art kitchen. It's impressive and filled with potential, yet without the culinary skills - our human judgment, creativity, and experience - the kitchen is just a collection of gadgets. And I've learned, people freaking LOVE new gadgets... AI tools, as remarkable as they are in processing and analyzing data, lack the essential human touch that turns raw information into meaningful actions. You can't just drop loads of ChatGPT documentation and hope it will turn into any sort of material outcome. This is where the art of human oversight becomes crucial. It's about recognizing that AI, like a high-tech appliance, is a tool that enhances but does not replace the chef. Don't let it allow you to become lazy. You still need to cook. ????
