The workers in early care are more important than ever because they are “AI-Born” after they have grew up with a generative AI and are uniquely equipped to adapt to their future and to shape them.
“If we understand how we promote a generation of AI -Born -and equip them with the right skills and tools in order to be managers and non -passive observers of this transformation -the future of work and society will be decisive as a whole,” writes Argenti.
He continues: “Your instincts, creativity and adaptability will determine how successfully we integrate AI into our organizations, not only as a tool, but as a partner.
With every important technological change, a new generation of managers appears, in particular entrepreneurs whose language skis is redesigning the business landscape.
