In our conversation, AJ shares the following insights:
· The impacts of AI are here. AI has been rapidly impacting how work happens. Unlike previous technology advancements is having a profound impact on white collar work – a sector that has previously felt safe and secure.
· It’s important to remember that anything is possible with AI. As a society, we need to remember we are in charge of how AI roles out. Anything is possible. It could be an opportunity to rehumanize the workplace.
· Leaders need to take accountability for the decision and actions they are making in response to AI. Leaders need to roll out AI in a way that makes their companies successful for the long-term. This includes being clear on the value that humans can provide and then building the right pipeline of talent.
· For individuals in their mid-career, the impact of AI can feel particularly daunting. It can be hard for 30-, 40-, 50-year-olds to reimagine how they fit into this new world of work. Remember you have value. Clarify skills you have that are transferable. Open yourself to a pivot
· For individuals starting out, embrace the idea that careers will be less linear than previous generations. Follow what you love. Learn to love to learn. Recognize that you will always be upskilling. Feel empowered that you can create the life you want. Approach every job clear on what you want to learn – pause once you’ve learned to assess what’s next.
