6 skills to build where AI still fails

TL;DR New problems, real experience, people skills, deep expertise, managing agents and resilience: that's where your value sits.

AI is getting better fast, but it still fails in predictable places. That's exactly where your value sits. Invest there.

  1. New problems: AI remixes the known
  2. Real experience: junior roles in AI-exposed jobs are shrinking, experienced ones aren't
  3. People skills: trust and leadership don't fit in a prompt
  4. Deep expertise: just beyond AI's reach, AI users were more often wrong
  5. Managing agents: reviewing their work is the new bottleneck
  6. Resilience: the tools change every few months
