As A.I. Advances, Soft Skills Become More Vital for Human Workers
- A.I. and automation may reduce demand for some technical skills like coding and data analysis that are currently in high demand
- "Soft skills" like communication, empathy, and critical thinking will likely retain value as uniquely human abilities
- The capabilities of A.I. should make us value more highly abilities that have allowed humans to collaborate, innovate and adapt over time
- Technical skills have been prioritized over soft skills in education and training, but that may need to change
