🤝👨🏫 Last month, our advisor, Dr. John Behrens, was featured in an article from the Wall Street Journal's Technology column. The piece covers the uncertainty that the widespread adoption of generative AI has infused into the career discernment and job-seeking process. Read below for a taste of how Dr. Behrens' expertise in human-machine interaction can contribute to critical conversations about how the Generative Revolution will shape the #FutureOfWork. #GenerativeAI #AIRevolution #HumanMachineInteraction #CareerDevelopment #AIInnovation #LeadershipInsights #WorkforceEvolution #AIAndSociety #TechInEducation

"Wanted: innovative tech-savvy graduates (and school leavers!) to harness benefits of AI" A few weeks ago, I was quoted in The Times by Catherine Baksi - and this is no little thing, so here I am to give it a little shout-out. As AI reshapes industries, legal professionals are expected to harness its capabilities for efficiency and improved client services. However, this shift requires current and aspiring lawyers to adapt by developing digital skills and understanding AI tools. This article highlights some of the ways law firms are encouraging aspiring solicitors to upskill in AI! 💻 Article link in the comments #TheTimes #EarlyCareers #Shoosmiths #AI #InnovationInLaw #LawCareer

It is a beneficial course for those interested in gaining knowledge about how AI can advance their careers (in none technical matter)

This piece in The Wall Street Journal gets at what worries me about how AI could affect the writing skills of the next generation. (Keep reading - there is good news here too!) It cites research on robots in surgery and algorithms in investment banking, not writing with AI, but this still resonated: "Simply put, the way we’re handling AI is keeping young workers from learning skills.... The technology allows experts to do more, independently, so they don’t need younger, less-experienced workers to help them out anymore—so those novices are left without mentors to teach them the skills they need to do their job.... As learning opportunities like these are lost throughout more industries, the results could be profound for both individual workers and the economy.... [O]ur organizations will struggle where they might otherwise race ahead—because workers won’t have the deep knowledge they need to innovate and step into senior roles." Here's the good news - the author (UCSB professor Matthew Beane) proposes a possible solution, which I could see applying to some writing tasks: "[W]e found cases where junior and senior workers teamed up to learn about new technologies together. By working closely with seniors in this way, the juniors didn’t just learn about the new technologies, they ended up collaborating with seniors on other aspects of the job. Since the older and younger workers were figuring out how the tech worked, they also needed to figure out how to integrate it into vital day-to-day tasks. So, the novices got to see firsthand how those jobs were done while performing actual work."

Already today, a public AI model knows more about the law from a global perspective than an average lawyer. Much, much more. Knowing the word of law is not enough to have a successful career. AI skills are rapidly becoming core lawyer skills. But don’t take my word for it - try it out yourself! For example, ask Perplexity AI any legal question and see what it tells you. So much of what we need to find out is online already. Why spend time on manual research when AI can do it for you? We tend to flatter ourselves with our superior legal skills. What we should do instead is to develop our human skills - like strategic thinking - and have the machine do the manual word processing for us. [add disclaimer]* *intentionally omitted

#AI will NEVER take our jobs. It’s OVERQUALIFIED for it. I wanted to get that yellow top voice badge. Why not? Went to the ‘Graphic Design’ section. Clicked a few headlines that made sense. Here's what 90% of ‘contributions’ look like (see image). Relax the next time somebody tries to scare you. Our jobs are safe, humans. No AI would bother feeding the AI with the AI-generated text, to then copy the AI-generated ‘contribution’ to please the AI moderator for the badge. On the serious note: can we all agree not to do that? P. S. I'm not getting the badge.

Great piece in the WSJ on How Students Can AI-Proof Their Careers … Cultivate your ability to work with other people, even jerks AI can write computer code, improve grammar and solve math problems, but so far it lacks the ability to mediate squabbles among colleagues, charm potential clients over cocktails or soothe angry customers. So developing those skills may be one of a job applicant’s best selling points. … https://lnkd.in/d8cSCWCp
