A Student Who Is Afraid of the Effects of AI
By Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter
As I am 18, I am very confused about what skills should I learn in the era of AI. I am very scared that the skills I learn today won’t be beneficial in my career in the next 5 yrs. In this two years, I tried learning many skills but now I started feeling demotivated because this work can be done by AI. So in this 2024, I want to avoid mistakes and want your advice. I want you to guide me which are the skills I should be learning this year.’
I am not talking about soft skills like communication because I know those are important. Instead I want to know what are the hard skills I need to learn.

Every time there is a major technological advance, panic sets in. When PCs started to appear, people were terrified that computers were going to take their jobs. They took a lot of secretarial jobs but computers became a way toward greater efficiency. The Internet was supposed to destroy retail. It took the pandemic for malls to be affected and e-commerce became the way to use the internet to get greater efficiency.
My point is that generative AI is going to be a complementary tool to whatever you do to allow you to do more with less effort. If you are entering college or in college, look for ways to use AI as a tool in your work after graduation. Start talking to people who are immersed in the workplace and using AI to get you thinking about how AI can be a tool for greater efficiency.

Think differently. Be the one who figures out how to use it well, can it explain it well and be the smartest 20 year old around AI.
