Uncertainty is growing among many employees: Will I lose my job? Will my work soon be taken over by artificial intelligence? Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan, explains which skills are particularly in demand in the age of artificial intelligence and can help people assert themselves in the job market.
Who is Jamie Dimon?
Jamie Dimon has been the CEO of JPMorgan, one of the largest financial institutions in the world, for many years. With his many years of experience in the financial industry and his comprehensive overview of economic and technological developments, Dimon is one of the voices that deserve special attention when it comes to future developments.
Statements about the world of work in the AI age
Dimon emphasizes that employees can only be successful in the long term if the real world, current changes and new ideas are properly assessed. That’s why, as CNBC reports, he advises workers to develop skills that will remain in demand in the age of artificial intelligence: critical thinking, emotional intelligence, communication skills and the ability to participate well in meetings. According to Dimon, those who master these skills will have many professional opportunities in the future.
According to CNBC, other CEOs also agree with this sentiment. For example, Amazon Web Services CEO Matt Garman emphasizes that critical thinking – the ability to analyze information and draw conclusions from it – is particularly important in the age of artificial intelligence. Although AI can take on many administrative and technical tasks, it is not yet able to make complex judgments. Garman also recommends being creative, flexible and willing to learn, as the ability to adapt to new things is crucial to success.
Harvard professor Alison Wood Brooks recommends consciously preparing for conversations, asking thoughtful questions, taking responsibility for your own mistakes, recognizing others for good ideas, and using small talk. But active listening is particularly important: successful employees don’t just nod or maintain eye contact, but rather pick up on the answers of their conversation partners and follow them up specifically – a skill that, according to Brooks, surprisingly few people are aware of.
Underrated core competency: the art of writing
A key point in Dimon’s advice is the exhortation: “Learn to write.” Even though AI today generates texts at the push of a button, the ability to structure thoughts precisely, logically and convincingly remains indispensable. For Dimon, good writing is an expression of clear thinking – a human ability that makes a crucial difference even in an automated world.
Expertise alone is no longer enough in the AI age. However, according to the world’s top managers, those who cultivate their purely human strengths – empathy, critical judgment and precise expression – will not only keep their job, but will be more in demand than ever before in the new world of work.
