Ann Masterson Publishes Her Inaugural Article on RTE
Ann Masterson, Head of the Human Resource Management Discipline within the School of MPO at TU Dublin, has achieved a significant milestone in her career by publishing her first article on RTE. In her inaugural article, Ann discusses the critical importance of soft skills in the AI-driven workforce, shedding light on the skills that will shape the future of work.
AI currently handles 34% of business-related tasks, and the World Economic Forum predicts a disruption in 44% of workers' skills over the next five years. In response to this transformation, Ann highlights the need to develop skills that AI cannot replace. She references global expert Richard Baldwin's advice to avoid competing directly with AI, focusing instead on skills that require human interaction. Marty Neumeier's concept of meta-skills, including empathy, systems thinking, imagination, design, and continuous learning, aligns with this approach and is essential for staying relevant in the job market.
Ann's article is a significant contribution to the ongoing discussion about preparing the workforce for an AI-powered future. It underscores her commitment to TU Dublin's mission of equipping students with the skills needed to thrive in an ever-changing employment landscape.
