And Sam Altman, the leader of OpenAI, said that talent who have good \u201ctaste\u201d and human judgement in the AI era will make their mark.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>AMD chief tells young grads they have great responsibility in shaping future with AI<\/h2>\n<p>The internet transformed communication, mobile computing changed \u201chow we live,\u201d and cloud computing altered the way of work. But the MIT alum said that the AI era is different from all the previous technological shifts that have taken place because it will accelerate discovery in every sector\u2014and finally get to the bottom of unsolvable problems.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And while AI may supercharge human capability across industries, Su stressed that the technology itself won\u2019t decide the future\u2014people will, making it critical for young workers to learn how to use the tools responsibly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, the way to think about [AI] is it makes each of us more capable, whether you\u2019re talking about medicine, science, energy, [or] climate,\u201d Su said. \u201cBut let me be clear about something: Technology itself does not decide what the future looks like, the best people do.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cFor everything that AI can do, AI can\u2019t decide which problems are worth solving. It can\u2019t make the hard judgments when the data is not there. It can\u2019t take responsibility for the outcomes,\u201d she continued. \u201cThese are actually our responsibilities, and they matter now more than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>AI fluency is becoming a prerequisite\u2014and it could mean higher salaries<\/h2>\n<p>Tech leaders like Huang have warned workers that AI won\u2019t take your job, but a human with tech prowess will. And now AI fluency is increasingly becoming a prerequisite on the job hunt; in 2024, over 66,000 job postings specifically listed generative AI as a skill, a huge jump from 16,000 in 2023, according to a Lightcast report.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/?p=289\">Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass seeks reelection following term mired with wildfire and homelessness: \u2018I haven\u2019t always got it right\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Available roles that mentioned large language modeling (LLM) grew from 5,000 to 20,000, and those that referred to prompt engineering also rose from 1,400 to nearly 6,300 in the same period.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Now, employees are being asked to leverage their human judgement and insights with AI tools that are constantly changing. And Aashna Kircher, group general manager for the office of the CHRO at Workday, said it\u2019s a tall order that\u2019s driving a troubling disconnect.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The leader said it typically takes 10 years to develop those types of skillsets, and professionals are being thrown into the deep end. Essentially, staffers are wielding 2025 tools while held to 2015 job structures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose are super high-level skillsets,\u201d Kircher said last year. \u201cRight now, all the training that I see is very focused on how to use AI and not how to develop and apply discernment and judgment around the output that AI is driving. And I think that\u2019s the disconnect for senior leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And there\u2019s a tangible financial incentive for young grads to successfully leverage AI while pairing it with soft skills. Employees who are AI fluent are 4.5 times more likely to report higher salaries than those who are in the early stages of learning, and are four times more likely to get promoted thanks to their AI prowess, according to a 2026 Ipsos study.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Getting comfortable with the tech is now a requirement, but the real unlock lies where budding professionals intertwine it with their own human judgement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/?p=287\">Former Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier indicted on new bribery charges alleging he left games early to help gamblers cash in on more than $250,00<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AMD CEO Lisa Su tells MIT graduates that the world doesn\u2019t just need \u2018people who know how to use powerful tools\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":292,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-293","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-jobs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
