Nurturing for Success in the AI-Powered World
Throughout my career, I have remained committed to being at the forefront of technological advancements, and that commitment continues to drive me forward. Five years ago, I deliberately chose to delve into the realm of AI, which led me to my current role at Red Marble AI. In this capacity, I have not only deepened my understanding of AI but also dedicated myself to helping organizations seize the emerging opportunities that this technology brings. As both a parent and a leader, I hold a strong belief in supporting and mentoring individuals of all ages, equipping them with the skills necessary to navigate these opportunities successfully.
Embracing Change and the Power of Soft Skills to Thrive:
Adapting to change is an essential life skill, especially in the era of AI. As parents and mentors, we must instill a mindset that embraces change as an opportunity for growth and innovation. While AI may replace certain technical skills, it also creates a demand for soft skills. Soft skills such as critical thinking, creativity, emotional intelligence, and empathy will be highly sought after in a world where human interaction and creativity are paramount.
Encouraging Lifelong Learning:
In a world where AI continuously evolves, it is crucial to nurture a lifelong learning mindset in our children. We need to inspire their curiosity, encourage them to explore new ideas, and empower them to pursue continuous learning throughout their lives. By fostering cognitive flexibility and learning agility, we prepare them to adapt and excel in a future where emerging technologies will shape the professional landscape.
Ethics and Responsible AI Usage:
As AI becomes increasingly prevalent in our lives, it is imperative to teach about ethical considerations and responsible AI usage. By promoting ethical decision-making skills and raising awareness about biases that can arise in AI systems, we can shape a generation that uses AI technology responsibly and with respect for the rights and well-being of all individuals.

1yGreat article Cheryl Vize. I love the idea of empowering our children, people and companies to use AI ethically, and can appreciate all the benefits that AI presents us with as individuals. The more we can utilise AI to do the mundane repetitive tasks, the more free time we will have to be creative, problem solving and inventive, and maybe even cure current incurable diseases. One huge positive will be more time in our day to day to achieve higher results. Will be checking out the article Amir Ansari mentioned in these comments. Thanks for allowing us to see the positives in what can be a very sticky subject.

1yI urge anyone who read Cheryl's article to consider reading Sir Ken Robinson 's 'Out Of Our Minds' book. The most watched Ted speaker, who also talks about the future of education and what our next generation needs.
Fabulous article Cheryl. I wonder if you would like to be part of a panel discussion I am organising on this very topic …. I will DM you.

1yI love that AI will help us not think about certain tasks and make us think about new concepts. It’s an adaptive world, always has been. Bring on AI. Some humans will grow fast, others will take time to adapt. Invest in a way to stand out in a crowded market! It will be fascinating to see the emergence on ethics in what will be lots new ground. Thanks Cheryl Vize
