À retenir
If you haven’t started playing with a “digital sandbox” yet, you might want to start building your sandcastles before the tide of automation comes in. It’s comforting to know that while your coding skills might be obsolete by Tuesday, your “empathy” is 30 times less likely to be automated—though your landlord probably won’t accept empathy as rent. My advice? Get an AI badge or two, because apparently, a 7% GDP boost is coming, and it would be a shame if you were the only one not invited to the party.
