Many conversations about AI disruption tend to focus on when AI will match or exceed elite human performance: the moment when AI surpasses the skills of a top surgeon, an expensive lawyer, or a clever strategist.
Yep. Appreciate your articulation of a pattern I have been sensing. The question is how to rebuild around something AI can’t easily replicate? As a coach in transition myself, I've been thinking it's about community and human connection, preferably in person. Voices. Sharing our own true stories. I'd be interested in your perspective on what you see as "AI proof" over the next 10 years. Human caregiving? What else?
Thanks so much for sharing and starting a convo Sarah A McLean !
I’m still working out what this might look like, to be honest. I think there’s at least two ways we need to think about this.
One is about the nature of the technology itself, what does AI (probably specifically generative AI) currently do and what does a mutually beneficial integration of that look like - where we preserve the human needs and try to meet them even better.
The second is about the AI companies themselves that are trying to grow as fast as possible by displacing human work.
I’m working on an article on that second point - my hypothesis on why the big AI platforms are building tools for practitioners…it’s not to make money, but to learn how to replace them.
