"The game changer in hiring according to the panel: businesses will no longer be focused on those who can just solve problems because so many problems can and will be solved by AI. The first question to ask is instead what skills humans have that GenAI and AI don't. According to the panelist, it boils down to three things: AI can't aspire, it can't provide leadership, and it can't apply human judgment."
"As a result, the future will belong to those who ask the right questions about the problems. Who can look at what a problem means. Who can figure out the impact the problem - and more importantly, the solution - will have for the future. It will matter less what school candidates go to and more what they aspire to. How resilient they can be. Leadership skills will be more important. And drive and passion may be everything."
"It will matter less what school candidates go to and more what they aspire to. If you want to get hired, the panelists say worry less about your resume and more about doing some work, even if for free, that demonstrates what you can do. That shows you have new ways of thinking about things. And how you can change a system or platform for the person you want to be hired by."
Agentic AI will automate many traditional problem-solving tasks, shifting demand toward human capacities that AI lacks: aspiration, leadership, and nuanced judgment. Future success will favor individuals who ask the right questions, assess long-term impacts of problems and solutions, and demonstrate resilience, drive, and passion. Educational pedigree will matter less than evidence of meaningful work and the ability to change systems or platforms for an employer. Early-career professionals should produce tangible demonstrations of new thinking—possibly unpaid—to show leadership and practical impact. Hiring and client selection will emphasize demonstrated aspiration and human judgment over conventional resumes.
