As robots become better than humans at most things, what roles will be left for humans? What skills are required for those roles? Empathizing, collaborating, leading, and building relationships.
THIS BOOK WAS WRITTEN IN 2015, GPT-3 was released in June 2020. The AI landscape has evolved dramatically since publication, but the core insights about uniquely human skills remain remarkably relevant.
The top roles for humans will be:
- Places we want a human to be accountable (judge, lawyer, politician).
- Places we need to solve problems for a group of humans (what should our mission be)
- Places we want to talk to a human (expert to talk to, leader to inspire, coworker to story tell with, person to negotiate with)
The top skills for humans will be:
- Empathizing
- Collaborating
- Leading
- Story telling
- Building Relationships
Two assumptions needed for this future. If assumptions are false, it’s game over:
- Humans are in charge of economy and the world.
- Perfect imitation of humans won’t exist for 200 years.
