🤖How to AI-Proof Your Career (and Actually Thrive)

AI-proofing your career boils down to 2 moves:
1) Amplify everything AI can’t do (or doesn’t do well).
2) Double-down on your secret sauce.

Why now? The IMF estimates ~40% of global jobs are exposed to AI—~60% in advanced economies. If half of what you do is automatable, make the other half unmistakable.

🧭 Critical thinking is the operating system.
Ask sharper questions, design the analysis, own the judgment. No report should come from an LLM that you didn’t architect and can’t defend.

🗣️ Talk > Type.
Verbal clarity beats prompts: run tighter meetings, read the room, land the point.

🧠 EQ & trust.
Decisions people believe in > documents they skim.

🛠️ Use Gen + Agentic AI for the rest.
Automate the busywork; keep the calls that require context, nuance, and taste.

🥡 Your secret sauce (be a category of one).
Specific domain edge + geo/language + unusual experiences = differentiation that’s hard to copy.

Question: What will you hand to AI this quarter—and what will you make unmistakably human?
