How AI reshuffles the skills’ cards

What are the most critical skills to develop to navigate in a world surrounded / prevaded by AI.
Shall we prioritize complementarity, by strengthening typically human skills such as emotional intelligence, critical thinking, problem-solving, negociation, creativity or dealing with ambiguity. Or should we go further than the machine but I the same direction (computational & analytical thinking, STEM, … ) ?

  • And what are the skills that are made obsolete by AI ?
  • What about driving, coding, writing a summary, devising a picture or drawing up a legal contract ?
  • Can we talk about the “skills of a machine or of an algorithm” ?
  • Should we, and if so how, continue to train our memory, attention and concentration skills?
  • Or does it become totally useless ?
