3 Skills You Need to Right Now, Before AI Takes Over

I look at my grandkids especially, and my youngest daughter, And I think 40% of the jobs, if you believe the studies are going to be gone because of AI, because of robotics, because of nanotechnology and so forth. So how do I arm them to do well in the future? And the answer is, there's three skills everybody needs. The first thing is pattern recognition. If you start recognizing patterns, fear disappears. So when you recognize a pattern, you no longer react. It's like losers react, leaders anticipate. Anticipation is power. So when you know the pattern, and that's what makes anybody great, they see the pattern. But what makes them really great is the second skill. When you learn to use the patterns. If you sow the same seeds, you reap the same rewards. But they know how to use it. If you see somebody great in music or dance or a movie maker, they know where to move the camera, to move your emotion. They bring it in close. When to bring the music up, how to do it, they know it. That makes them masterful. But the third level skill is pattern creation. That's what you've begun to do? That's what I've begun to do. It's like when you learn to play a piano. Most people learn someone else's patterns. You learn to see the patterns, recognize them, then you learn to use them. But if you do enough other music, then now you get to come out and you start creating things. So I'm standing on the shoulders of all the people before me, as are you, because I learned so many things to them. But now, at this stage of my life, the last 15, 20 years, I've been able to create things because I know what those patterns are. So those skill sets, that's how my kids will do well. Because if you can learn rapidly and recognize patterns, there's nothing you can't do well, at least.
