Will AI take your job or will someone using AI take it?

AI is not going to take your job. Someone using AI will take your job.

Yes, yes, we've heard that before, Neil.

The bit that gets missed is that those people using AI will need different skills. AI-enabled teams will need more emphasis on logic, critical thinking, debate and reasoning than pure technical capability. For example, writing efficient prompts for GenAI is a skill: if you overload the prompt you can create all kinds of problems including hallucinations in your answers. This new mode will require you to change the skill base in your delivery team to tackle these new challenges.

You won't need people who can simply do the task: various software agents in different forms will do that and there will be minimal differentiation.

If you are a technology delivery team and you're not adding these new skills, then your business model is under threat from those that will.

Call to action: if you want to build or train this new AI capability then Qualyfi can help. We can provide training and fresh thinking to your teams. We have a solution catalogue of different engagements ready to go.

BTW Check out this video from Jensen Huang, CEO at NVIDIA; really like the section AI applications, which talks about this topic and some of the fundamentals of AI in simple terms (which I always like...)
