This is inevitable……
according to BloombergIBM expects to put hiring on hold as around 7,800 jobs could be replaced by #AI.
IBM Chief Executive Arvind Krishna said back-office functions such as human resources would be suspended or slowed down.
“There are about 26,000 employees in these non-customer-facing roles,” Krishna said. “I could easily see 30% of that being replaced by AI and automation within five years.”
This is the first of many announcements as automation rapidly advances and organizations rethink work, resources and technology.
On May 2, Chegg, head of EDtech transmit signal ChatGPT’s growing popularity significantly hampered its student subscriber growth when it suspended its full-year outlook. The move sent the company’s shares down 47% in early trading.
“Since March, we have seen a significant uptick in student interest in ChatGPT. We now believe it is having an impact on our new customer growth rate,” explain Chegg CEO Dan Rosensweig.

At the same time, this is a perfect time to reflect on your career path. And choose the character you want to play in the future, which most people honestly don’t foresee or plan for. I have always believed that destruction happens to you or because of you.
When it’s a choice, you have more power than you realize to shape outcomes and futures in your favour.
Even my dear friend and former colleague Jeremiah Owyang, one of the world’s leading AI thinkers, stands at these crossroads meditation his next step.
“If you’re waiting for someone else to tell you what to do, then you’re on the wrong side of innovation.”
So many leaders have stood alongside him at the intersection of “what future do we think we’re trying to achieve” and “what’s the actual future (WTAF)?”

A conversation with a GPT professor about future skills needed for AI development skills and roles
To help us get started, I (semi-seriously) consulted industry-leading resource #GPT professors on the matter for advice on what we can do. This is part 1 of our full conversation.
Solis: You are a compassionate futurist who believes that ChatGPT and generative AI will eventually take more and more jobs from people. You’ve now been hired by Yale University to teach the first-ever AI proofreading career course for business professionals. What is included in the curriculum of the 101 course?
GPT Professor: As an empathetic futurist who recognizes the potential impact of AI on the workforce, I will design the AI Proofreading Careers for Business Professionals course to help individuals prepare for the changing work environment.
The course will cover the following topics:
An Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Its Impact on the Workforce: This section will provide an overview of what artificial intelligence is, its various applications, and how it impacts different industries and jobs. It will also cover potential benefits and challenges related to AI, including job displacement.
Identify AI-vulnerable occupations: This section will help individuals identify the types of jobs most vulnerable to automation and displacement by AI. We will discuss various factors that make a job more or less likely to be automated, such as the level of routine involved, the amount of human-computer interaction required, and the degree of creativity or problem-solving involved.
Analyze skill sets and identify transferable skills: In this section, we will help individuals analyze their current skill sets and identify transferable skills that can be applied to different careers or industries. We’ll also discuss the importance of lifelong learning and how to acquire new skills to succeed in a rapidly changing job market.
Entrepreneurship and New Opportunities: This section will explore the potential of leveraging artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies to start a business and start a new business. We’ll discuss the characteristics of successful entrepreneurs, the benefits and challenges of starting a business, and how to identify new business opportunities.
Ethics and Responsibility: Finally, we will discuss the ethical and social responsibilities associated with AI and automation. We will explore issues such as how to ensure that AI is used for the greater good, how to address issues of bias and discrimination, and how to mitigate the negative impacts of AI on vulnerable groups.
Overall, the course aims to provide business professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the impact of artificial intelligence on the workforce, providing them with the skills and knowledge needed to adapt to a changing job market, and encouraging them to think critically and ethically about the role Applications of artificial intelligence in society.
Solis: Now let’s talk about the next course, 102 builds on 101. What skills would you encourage students to learn to keep up with AI evolution and layoffs?
GPT Professor: In AI Proofreading Career 102 for Business Professionals, we’ll focus on developing skills and competencies that are less vulnerable to automation and can help individuals keep pace with AI development and layoffs. Below are some of the skills and abilities that we encourage our students to learn:
Creative and Critical Thinking: Artificial intelligence can be very good at performing everyday tasks, but still not as good as humans when it comes to creativity and critical thinking. Students are encouraged to develop their creative and critical thinking skills through exercises, case studies and other activities.
Emotional Intelligence and Interpersonal Skills: Jobs that require high levels of emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills, such as healthcare, education, and social work, are less likely to be automated. Students are encouraged to develop these skills through role plays, simulations and other activities.
Data analysis and interpretation: AI is very good at processing and analyzing large amounts of data, but it still requires human input to interpret and understand the data. Students are encouraged to develop their data analysis and interpretation skills, including the ability to recognize patterns and insights, and communicate their findings to others.
Adaptability and flexibility: With the rapid pace of technological change, it is important for individuals to be adaptable and flexible in their careers. Students are encouraged to develop these skills through exposure to different industries and job functions, and through exercises that require them to adapt to changing situations and environments.
Leadership and Management: While AI can perform day-to-day tasks well, it still requires human leadership and management to guide its use and application. We encourage students to develop their leadership and management skills, including the ability to motivate and inspire others and to make strategic decisions.
Overall, the AI Proofreading Career 102 for Business Professionals course focuses on developing skills and competencies that are not vulnerable to automation and can help individuals stay ahead in a rapidly changing job market.
The next steps we take as humans are profound
Depending on your point of view, IBM news is either a canary in the coal mine, business as usual or clickbait.
Whether the news from IBM or Chegg is a harbinger of things to come, or sensational news that causes panic, the reality is that policy makers and leaders may not know the difference. They may take these stories and explore ways to emulate them.
Now the simple answer is that it is complicated.
If anything, this is a time for reflection.
“If you think technology is going to solve your problems, you don’t understand technology—and you don’t understand your problems.” – Laurie Anderson, 2020
I think the AI events unfolding around us are catalysts for conversations we should be having anyway.
Starting with a different problem, let’s move on.Let us find opportunities to reframe narratives to control how we respond to disruption and digital darwinism.
“Digital Darwinism is the evolution of consumer behavior when society and technology evolve faster than some companies can adapt. The point of natural selection is that only some businesses will survive.” – Washington post
Start by exploring the role of humans in an AI-enhanced world. Let’s explore the potential jobs of the future and the skills needed to thrive with AI.
For example, the World Economic Forum recently published a groundbreaking report found one”retraining revolution’ on us. It’s research and conversations like this that help us understand what’s going on, where we’re going, and the role we can play in the future.
The more advanced the technology, the more critical human skills (aka soft skills) become important in our jobs, such as empathy, critical and analytical thinking, and resilience.
Conversations with “Professor GPT” are meant to start conversations on a human level, our level.
Every revolution brings destruction.Every revolution brings new opportunities and creative destruction (Eliminate old ones and add new ones). Every revolution also represents an opportunity to grow and prosper in unforeseen ways.
There is a saying that can’t help but come to mind in this era, “Life doesn’t happen to you, it happens to you.”
The gap between where we are and where we can be is separated only by the ways we forget, learn, and move forward in different ways.
