AI is going to take away appx 800 million jobs by 2030.

But it is also going to create more than a Billion new jobs.

Here are 5 things to understand to catch the ship early -

1. AI is an enabler

Famous AI leader Andrew NG describes AI as the new electricity.

Like electricity, AI is going to bring a great revolution in the progress of humankind.

It won’t replace you, it will actually enable you to do more.

While you can understand it, it won’t be completely necessary to understand its internal engineering of it.

We use electricity, and electronic devices — smartphones, laptops, television, and drive amazing vehicles every day.

Do we understand the internals of the above? But we still use them right? It will be the same with AI.

Would your job exist today, if electricity was never invented?

But if you ask people before the invention of electricity, they wouldn’t have been able to comprehend the jobs we are doing today.

So with time more and more new jobs and roles will start coming.

We need to embrace the known Unknown and build an appetite for Uncertainty.

In the 19th Century, on average humans were working 60+ hours every week.

Today companies are deciding to jump from 5 days a week to 4 days a week.

This is how advancements in technology have helped Humans in the last 150 years.

With AI, we will be able to save more time than ever before.

Since we know what is coming, it is a good time to take the next step and prepare yourself for the future.

Worrying will do nothing other than block you from growing.

The best place to start — is the course by Andrew NG called — AI For Everyone on Coursera.

It is a non-technical course and anyone can understand it.
