Workers must now all make one critical mindset shift, followed by one simple action.

So, is this the promise of AI - that it will slowly but surely put us all out of work? If so, where will it start and with which jobs? What will the state of the workplace look like? And what should employees be doing to prepare? Indeed, Fawad Bajwa, global AI practice leader at leadership advisory firm Russell Reynolds Associates, sees an upswing in the global demand for AI-related roles. “The demand for talent in this space is substantially higher than what it was 18 months ago when AI was not on top of everyone’s mind,” he told me.
“While the adoption of new technology often comes with uncertainty, I believe AI will in fact enable us to be more human. If we embrace AI correctly, we will open up opportunities for all workers to focus on strategy and human connection, driving more impact,” he said. “For example, Doctors are using AI to take and file notes, so they can spend more time with patients, and marketers leverage AI to build visuals, so they can focus on brand strategy and audience engagement.
In terms of mindset, we need to recognize that humans are psychologically wired with a negativity bias, which associates change with a certain degree of fear and loss. Thus, humans much prefer avoiding pain in the short term rather than approaching gains for the long term . It’s hard for most people to see that the greater risk is in not going along with the AI revolution.
