21st Century Skills: Thriving in an AI-Driven World

How should we make sense of learning in a world where machines can instantly tell us any fact? Will AI function as a third hemisphere for our brains or cause our brains to atrophy? The key skills of the 21st century will be collaborating with others on complex problems, analyzing them critically, and communicating beautifully to others. If we can get comfortable with the angst of being a beginner again as adults, our ability to gain new skills and reinvent ourselves can become our greatest superpower. This can also help us navigate the tricky aspects of algorithmic management, ensuring that human autonomy is respected and upheld in an age of autonomous machines.
