4 Ways to Future-proof Your Career Against the Growth of AI

With all this talk about AI replacing people’s jobs, it’s understandable to feel worried about your career. Especially if your job is among those most likely to be automated, such as bookkeeping or telemarketing.

As AI development advances at an incredible rate, many jobs are in danger of being replaced by AI. According to a world economic forum’s (WEF) report, AI will supplant eighty-five million jobs by 2025.

That said, the report also highlights the many job opportunities using AI at work will create. However, many aren’t sure if they can adapt to this rapidly changing work environment with their current skill sets.

So, what can you do about it? How can you future-proof your career against AI?

Let’s find out.

Learn to Work With Not Against AI

Learn to Work With, Not Against, AI.

Instead of fearing the arrival of AI in your workplace, why not embrace and learn to work with it?

If you think about it, AI is just like any machine you use to make your life much easier at work. They do the more mundane and repetitive tasks for you, so you can focus on the tasks that only you can do.

Thus, one of the best ways to future-proof your career from AI is to learn how to utilize it to your advantage.

Take AI tools that help you manage your schedule, such as timehero or monday.com. With it, you won’t have to worry about missing meetings anymore, as it automatically schedules your appointments.

Becoming an early adopter of AI will enable you to stay ahead, not just of AI but your competitors as well. You’ll be more efficient, and you can even teach your co-workers how they can use AI at work too.

Adopt a Growth Mindset

Adopt a Growth Mindset.

Change is inevitable. What may have worked for you today and yesterday may not work tomorrow. You must adapt if you want to prevent AI from replacing you.

Having a growth mindset enables you to have an easier time adapting to the changes around you. Instead of focusing on the threat of automation, why not see it as an opportunity to hone your skills and learn new ones?

Contrast this with the growth mindset’s opposite, the fixed mindset. People with this mindset often refuse to change their ways and instead resist and see change as a threat.

Fortunately, even if you have the latter mindset, it’s possible to change it over time. It’s neither easy nor quick – but nothing worth doing ever is.

Expand Your Current Skill Set

Expand Your Current Skill Set.

Developing new skills is another way to future-proof your career against AI. In today’s rapidly evolving business world, employees with a wide range of skills are a great asset for many companies.

Generalists can adapt and solve various problems they encounter at work, including the threat of being replaced by AI.

Is your job about to be automated? No worries. With an extensive skill set, you can easily apply for a promotion. Or you can even shift jobs if your employer rejects your request (or you think the benefits of such aren’t enough).

Having an extensive skill set opens up many new opportunities for you to choose from. This ensures you won’t become obsolete once AI becomes more commonplace.

Hone Your Emotional Intelligence

Hone Your Emotional Intelligence.

If you want to future-proof your career against AI, you need to be able to do something it can’t.

And what is one crucial thing that humans have that machines don’t? If you answered “emotions,” then give yourself a pat on the back.

Now the question is, how emotionally smart are you?

Emotional intelligence, or EQ, is the ability to perceive, evaluate, and express emotions. This skill is essential in areas like leadership, collaboration, and communication.

Honing these skills can be challenging but also rewarding. You have to make a conscious effort to observe and record your emotions. Try naming and describing these emotions to help you familiarize yourself with and control them.

Remaining Competitive in the Age of AI

Remaining Competitive in the Age of AI.

The future of artificial intelligence is very bright. But that doesn’t mean ours as workers isn’t.

By changing our mindsets and learning new skills, we can keep pace with these AI developments and future-proof our careers.
