I break this down into four key categories of skills likely to increase in value:

  1. Hard for AI: data poor, messy, long-horizon tasks where a person-in-the-loop is wanted
  2. Needed for deploying AI: the skills of organising and auditing AI systems, as well as those used in complementary industries such as data centre construction
  3. Used to make things the world could use far more of: skills that contribute to improved healthcare, housing, research, luxury goods, etc. – things which people want more of as they get better and cheaper
  4. Hard for others to learn: rare expertise that matches your unique strengths
