If HIVE is to be a solution for people affected by AI, what exactly will enable those individuals to succeed on HIVE, given that they were unwilling to adapt even within their own professions?
I believe that many of those at risk of losing their jobs are also victims of their own comfort. Technology is constantly changing the rules of the game, and anyone who stops learning too soon is taking a risk.
Try telling that to someone in there mid forties or older because this is not a simple relearning that is required and you now have to think of doing something yourself that cannot be replaced. When you look at it this is not that easy and I have been researching alternative career paths seeing it more as an opportunity before others may see that route.
I'm not saying it would be easy. However, I've met many people over the years who opposed technological change long before AI appeared. New tools, digital platforms, online services, automation, they rejected most of it. In that context, AI may simply be accelerating a challenge that was already there: adapting to an ever-changing world.....the real issue isn't AI, but the habit of resisting change itself.
You can go even further back. The industrial revolution for example was arguably a greater disrupter than AI prompting individuals and society as a whole to have to adapt to a new economic environment and social contract.
But I completely agree. Resilience and adaptability are going to be key for this and future generations.
So many people fear change. Working on a project recently, I was complaining to a colleague about some of the resistance I've met from some teams in bringing in new tech - it's like introducing fire to cavemen and having them complain it's too hot!
