In this moment, excerpted from the Keynote Fireside Chat session “How to Have a Legendary Career in a Post AI World,” Christopher Lochhead, Best-selling Author, Category Pirates, describes how AI will have a different impact on the workforce compared to other technologies, specifically how it will change the value of knowledge workers.
Key Takeaways
- Knowledge workers: Peter Drucker created the category of “knowledge work” in an attempt to distinguish between those who work with their muscles versus those who work with their minds, Christopher explains. While it’s evolved, the definition highlights someone who acquires high-value knowledge and gets paid to apply that knowledge to an outcome or a result.
- Incorporating AI: With the introduction of AI, the value of existing knowledge gets closer to zero every day. The value of net new knowledge gets more valuable every day. As the value of knowledge workers has been very high for decades, this will look different as AI gets further incorporated across industries.
