Squiggly Careers

The Careers Skills AI can't replace (Day 1) | Open to Work


Listen Later

What if the future of work isn't less human...but more human? In this special episode, Helen kicks off a brand new five-part series borrowing brilliance from Open to Work, a brilliant new book by Aneesh Rahman, Chief Economic Opportunity Officer at LinkedIn, and former Obama speechwriter.

Over the next five days, Helen and Aneesh will explore the five human skills that matter most in the age of AI: curiosity, courage, creativity, compassion and communication. Today, they start with curiosity - and why it might be the most important career advantage you can build right now.
🎯 What You'll Learn
– Why AI raises the value of human skills rather than replacing them (and what that means for your career)
– What real curiosity looks like at work (hint: it's not just reading more, it's finding a thread and pulling on it)
– Why outsourcing your curiosity to AI creates cognitive debt, and what to do instead
– How to use AI as a starting point for building curiosity, not an ending point
– How to create more curiosity in your team through debate, discussion and the willingness to say "I don't know"
