The need to reinvent yourself after 50 is more important today than ever before.
A recent study is summarized as follows...
"Workers are losing their jobs not because AI replaced them, but because bosses believe they aren't adopting it fast enough. Accenture CEO Julie Sweet recently announced the firm is "exiting" employees who aren't getting the hang of using AI, despite training 70% of its 779,000 employees in the technology.
From professional services to tech companies, employers are marking down employees in performance reviews or weeding them out of hiring if they're seen as dragging their feet on AI adoption. At IgniteTech, leaders required staff to devote 20% of their workweek to experimenting with AI, then they used ChatGPT to rank employees and cut the lowest performers. LinkedIn job postings requiring AI literacy skills have expanded by 70% in the 12 months ended in July, reflecting how critical the technology has become to remaining employed."
This first line struck me like a ton of bricks - "Workers are losing their jobs not because AI replaced them, but because bosses believe they aren't adopting it fast enough."
Are you falling behind the next big revolution because you are afraid of using AI?
