AI might not replace your job — but it will expose whether you actually know what your job is.

It is stunning to me and understandable just how many people are not what I would call aware of the way and the processes they use to work at all. They just sort of execute, right? Understandably, because for decades now, if you— obviously there have been large technological revolutions, even the computer being one of them, you know, the internet, mobile phone. But still, generally, we still always thought, well, the work will be done by the human. It was always tools we got, right, on top to do that work. But the fact that now large parts of the task sets will be actually taken over by AI to the point where potentially we will have lots of fields where an AI system is actually potentially better positioned to make a decision, and we will have to rethink what it means to take responsibility for that decision, right? You were never really in that position before, unless we're considering like recommending a movie, you know, as a tiny decision. But now we're really talking, you know, big complex problems and decisions. So the second part I would say is then to become very aware of your current work structures, of your actual— if you want to extend this to your daily life, of course, your processes, your structures, your infrastructure. How are you set up? How do you design your days? And I often have people actually run through this, and I teach an executive course at the university, and we do this in the program as as well to really ask people to actually write down their tasks. And oftentimes they realize, oh, I've always thought of myself as, let's say, like an accountant or a managing director, right? But what are my actual tasks and responsibilities? What do I do all day? What do I do all week? How do I spend my life, right? So to become aware of these things, because then you're starting to really see these patterns of where automation might truly help, where augmentation might truly help, right? Challenge me in my thinking, really get me to innovate outside of the box, all of those things that AI can do beautifully when it's used well. But then I think we also see the corners of the work world that will hopefully remain human-driven.
