Human skills in the age of AI

I address questions at AI conferences about whether AI will replace humans. A recent article caught my attention and I found it interesting to hear industry leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos discuss the importance of human-centric skills.

Creativity is emerging as one of the most valued human skills, alongside empathy, emotional intelligence and others.

Recent research underscores a profound shift in the way employees perceive AI's impact on the workforce. Contrary to concerns about job displacement, most employees believe AI will amplify the importance of uniquely human skills.

In an agentic AI world, AI frees us to focus on creative problem-solving, strategic leadership and continuous learning. As AI assumes a more prominent role, leaders are being reshaped to prioritize high-level thinking, team development and collaboration.

Moreover, AI's transparency and accountability can help bridge the global trust deficit, fostering a culture of openness and integrity within organizations. By embracing this synergy between humans and AI, we can unlock unique opportunities for growth, innovation and success.
