How to Prepare

Continuous Learning

Invest in upskilling programs focused on AI tools, data literacy, and emerging technologies.

Embrace Human-AI Teams

Learn to work alongside AI as a collaborator, not a competitor. Focus on what humans do best.

Develop Soft Skills

Empathy, creativity, and complex problem-solving remain uniquely human advantages.

Stay Adaptable

Build career resilience through diverse skill sets and openness to role evolution.

AI won't replace humans, but humans using AI will replace humans who don't.
