Many job seekers or working professionals have expressed concern that artificial intelligence (AI) would scarce up the job market worldwide, particularly the ones that require lots of computation or manual intervention. Others also fear that AI could hence be detrimental to humanity in the coming years.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            While the AI juggernaut has seen a rapid rise in the last 18 months and is accelerating inexorably, Zack Kass, former Open AI executive told Business Insider that there are still key areas where humans can outthink AI.

For starters, he stated, “AI is going to commoditise most of our knowledge and many of our skills.” Further, he added that “immutable human qualities" that include "courage, vision, wisdom, empathy will become more important.”

He mainly points out that professional workers must increasingly focus on areas where humans can outperform AI, such as "critical thinking". They will also have an edge over AI if they can understand the core problem uniquely with a human touch, which AI’s computational algorithms simply cannot match.

Kass also stressed the fact that human workers should focus on improving their personal qualities. A staff comprising of likeable individuals with good etiquette may also improve the productivity of a workplace.

He concludes that these attributes in employees will not only assure their job retention but will also ensure that the organisations for which they work develop at a rapid pace.

Recently, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO, Meta said that humanity doesn’t face imminent threat from AI. Zuckerberg told The Verge that none of the big tech companies, including Meta, have an AI model in works that threatens humanity.
