About this chapter

AI is changing quickly, and I can't give a definitive answer on how to protect your career. I do suggest staying informed, becoming fluent with the tools and staying flexible.

Key points

• People are still being employed today, and some of the scaremongering is overdone.
• I'm not sure you can AI-proof a career, but you can make sure you're not surprised by it.
• Follow trusted sources and use the latest AI tools yourself, so you know what's possible.
• Repetitive white-collar and blue-collar tasks are likely to be automated, gradually and then suddenly.
• Expect a portfolio-style career, stay open to retraining and be the person who uses AI.
