Studies show that artificial intelligence can eliminate many jobs, as it is much faster to perform different tasks. So how can a worker stay relevant and not get fired in this scenario?

André Goulart, an engineer specializing in AI, says that these systems solve many types of problems very efficiently. “When you compare any job a human being has to do, it's expensive, it has a scale limit and it takes time. With artificial intelligence, you allow everything to be done with more speed, with practically infinite scale and at low cost”, he says.

Ricardo Triana, managing director of the Project Management Institute (PMI) Latin America says that to remain competitive, companies "will need to hire problem solvers and relationship builders who can help drive change and deliver strategic value."

Investing in professional development and training is crucial for workers who do not want to lose their jobs.

PMI's Pulse of the Profession 2023 report points out the skills that companies in Latin America find most important in a professional. These are communication, problem solving, collaborative leadership, and strategic thinking.

These skills are part of the so-called power skills, or power skills. They are behaviors and ways of dealing with the different situations that appear in everyday life and go beyond the theoretical and technical knowledge learned in schools and universities.

Problem solving is the ability to come up with creative and effective solutions to deal with a challenge.

Strategic thinking is aligned with proper decision-making to achieve goals. “With automation replacing administrative tasks, mastering power skills makes project professionals more valuable,” says Triana. “Fortunately, AI cannot easily replace these skills.”

The manager also lists some technical knowledge that may be useful to avoid dismissal. “It would be important to learn some basic data programming language, for example.”

In addition to the technical part, the professional reinforces the development of emotional intelligence so that it is possible to better deal with emotions.

For this, it is important to learn to observe and analyze one's own behavior, understand and master feelings, think before acting and respect limits, for example.
