How to manage your career during an AI revolution

Will AI Take Your Job – Or Make You More Valuable?

The fear of artificial intelligence replacing human jobs is real, and it's growing. Think of the meme: “AI won’t take your job, but someone who knows AI will,” uncertainty is everywhere.

In this episode I tackle the question head-on: should you be afraid of AI, or should you see it as the biggest career opportunity of your lifetime?

AI is not a job terminator so much as a task transformer. Technologies like ChatGPT, Copilot, and Perplexity can automate repetitive work, but they also open doors to higher-value, human-driven services.

So, what’s the survival strategy? You must work like a wolf: stay sharp, adaptable, and self-reliant. Start with what you already do well and ask how AI can make you better at it.
