Michael A Osborne is a machine learning researcher at the University of Oxford and was recently quoted by Azeem Azharwith in his newsletter, The Exponential View (highly recommended). The reason is that he shared the slides of the presentations he gave at The Machine Learning Summer School, a summer school series created in 2002 to disseminate knowledge and awareness on machine learning methods based in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

One of them had the title “Technology at Work: The Future of Automation” and was extremely interesting. Specifically, there are two very powerful slides that answer the following questions: What can you do now to prepare for AI? Which skills will be needed? And Osborne in a very graphical and scientific way provides the following answers:

It’s that simple. The competences of the future that must be developed and promoted are:

  1. Judgement and Decision Making
  2. Fluency of Ideas
  3. Active Learning
  4. Systems Evaluation
  5. Originality
  6. Learning Strategies
  7. Deductive Reasoning
  8. Complex Problem Solving
  9. Systems Analysis

What do you think about them? We’ll have to start preparing, won’t we?
