This week, we talked to Maria Flynn, the President and CEO of Jobs for the Future (JFF), about the importance of making soft-skill development accessible to all learners and workers around the country. Maria emphasizes the significance of these skills in the context of the modern workforce: “in this age of AI, soft skills –essentially human skills– are going to be more important than ever.” As technology transforms industries, it is our uniquely “human skills” that drive innovation and success. Check out Maria Flynn’s op-ed with Aneesh Raman, titled “When Your Technical Skills Are Eclipsed, Your Humanity Will Matter More Than Ever" https://lnkd.in/e4i7naDN #futureofwork #softskills #artificialintelligence #workforcedevelopment #skilledtrades

Did you know? According to a recent PwC report, over 80% of executives believe that #AI will significantly alter their industry. However, only 25% have implemented an AI strategy. This underscores the urgent need for AI literacy in today's workforce. Just tuned into Parmida Beigi's TEDtalk on AI literacy – mind blown! As an AI scientist, her insights hit close to home. Parmida's concern about AI blurring human-AI lines is spot-on. That's why AI literacy is as vital as reading and writing. Let's ditch the buzzwords and dive into the nitty-gritty of machine learning. Understanding #AI goes beyond just recognizing buzzwords; it's about developing the essential skills to navigate the AI-powered world. From interpreting algorithms to grappling with the ethical implications of AI, literacy in artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly vital for professionals across all sectors. In fact, a study by the World Economic Forum predicts that by 2025, AI and automation will displace 85 million jobs but create 97 million new ones, highlighting the transformative power of AI in the workforce. By embracing this new era of technological advancement, we can ensure that we're not just prepared for the future but actively shaping it. #AILiteracy #FutureOfWork #EthicalAI #Innovation https://lnkd.in/dn2WuA53

Passion for #AIinEducation; harness #AI to transform structured curriculum into engaging lessons; foster critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication, and curiosity. “Be curious, not judgmental.”~Ted Lasso
One of the things we need to remember about #AI… Never lose sight of our humanity. If we learn nothing else from the science fiction movies we should learn that. Our humanity is the thing that keeps us connected! #empathy needs to become a core skill and we should be teaching our students how to do it. #Hi4AI #humanintelligence #HIM
