Strategies for preparing for AI era
AI + Human= Great Collaboration
Considering, AI used by human to save time, automate work and get more out of it can led to the best Collaboration. They both have their strengths and weaknesses and if both gets compatibly with it it will be the most successful application ever.
For preparing for the AI era I will first recommend you to develop your mindset, this is the one thing which you must have to develop at early stage. Improving your skills, knowledge and mindset are the basic things to upgrade and outgrow from other’s.
Here are some more specific steps and strategies you can use that will help you prepare for the future work:
- Innovation: AI can’t be able to think and be innovative as humans so there’s no doubt it will not be able to replace humans for this. Individual’s should come up with the skills and leverage the AI technology with the solutions.
- Building Expertise in Domain: While AI is increasingly in an incredible way, one should gain as much as knowledge and get upto the mark of expert in particular domain. Expertise will help individuals to add value insights that AI can’t replace.
- Seeking new Opportunities & Stay Updated: Staying updated will bring you opportunity whether your considering AI or not, as now a days world is growing drastically with technology and keeping in mind one should stay updated and look for opportunities around him to work with AI system.
- Develop some technical skills: AI needs some soft skills including technical skills such as Machine Learning, Data Science, Programming, etc. One should consider taking some courses, developing and grabbing certificates in the particular field to develop required skills.
Let’s Conclude
In Conclusion, to be very honest we are at very early stage to consider that AI will replace humans. In my personal point of view it won’t, because AI might replace some of the Jobs and create an automation but it will also increase jobs in some fields (humas will be required to manage the AI technology) like software development, analysis, AI research.
Ultimately the success of AI and replace our Job market will depend on how fast would we shift to the opportunity and adapt more skills, and find ways to harness the power of AI to deal with the challenges.
