AI Doesn't Destroy Jobs. It Destroys Skills | Better Moments #3 | Russell Beck
Better At Work with Cathal QuinlanShow Notes
The loudest predictions about AI count the jobs it might destroy. Russell Beck says that is the wrong unit of analysis.
Technology is very good at removing the scarce skill inside a job. Russell's example is a naval shipyard worker wearing an exoskeleton. The job remains. The work becomes safer. The employer gains a wider talent pool. Physical strength stops being the thing that makes one person uniquely qualified.
In this eight-minute Better Moment, Russell explains where the advantage moves next: creativity, self-efficacy and leadership.
Russell Beck is the author of *The World of Work to 2030*. He has worked in 25 countries and was European Head of Talent at Yahoo.
