“Angst” – a cartoon that illustrates the tendency of humans to view the future through the lens of the past, which is likely to be particularly challenging when revolutionary change like AI occurs.

Vinod Khosla recently remarked that the fast pace of AI development is leading to a “relentless tsunami of capabilities that keep coming every few months and surprising us.”

In response, there are countless articles analyzing which job type will be impacted by the AI revolution, putting existential fear into swathes of the professional middle classes.

However, the future skill we all need to keep honing is curiosity, which fuels lifelong learning and remaining adaptable to an ever-evolving job market.

Notably, the World Economic Forum recently estimated that 85% of the jobs that will exist in 2030 have not been invented yet.

For those of you on this journey of honing curiosity, one step you could take is subscribe to the Superhuman AI newsletter, which offers practical examples of how AI can improve our productivity.
