Soft skills such as communication, empathy, adaptability, creativity, and critical thinking are becoming more valuable in the job market amidst the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) and artificial intelligence.
Technical skills like coding, data analysis, and digital design are no longer the rarest or most defensible assets in today's evolving job market.
Previously, hard skills were highly valued as they were teachable, testable, and directly linked to job performance.
With LLMs capable of tasks like code generation, writing reports, data analysis, and design, the distinction between human expertise and AI capabilities is diminishing.
While technical skills are still important, the competitive edge now lies in understanding how to use tools like GPT-4 and other AI systems effectively.
The key is not just knowing how to perform tasks mechanically but understanding why to do them, what to do, and aligning them with human needs.
