It’s impossible to know how AI will affect things but seven years ago I gave it a shot. Here’s what I wrote:
"The typical CV or resume just five years from now might look very different. Your experience and competence will count for a whole lot less if a computer program that’s just been released can do most of your work at a fraction of the cost...You might want to say where you got your creativity training, what level you reached and what creative ideas you’ve had as a result – forget waffling on about being able to think outside the box, you’ll have to actually show some evidence of it. Maybe you’ll even have a ‘creative IQ’ score to point to – hopefully one to boast about.”
While AI has shocked us all with its progress, the Great Unemploying has yet to happen.
I’ll also say that while it would be advisable for everybody – across the entire world of work – to upskill creatively as I pointed out in 2018, and to do it fast, that movement has yet to gather pace.
I had slightly more faith in reason back then, but there you go. Human beings generally have to watch things burn down before they even look at a hose, so I suppose it’s only the enlightened few who get creativity training in any serious sense.
