"That's a step that we will have to take as a civilization, honestly, in the next three to five years: how do we retain decision making and judgment in certain situations? Because you can hold somebody accountable, but if all they're doing is pressing a button and saying yes, then they're not actually applying judgment."
"We're talking about raising the skill level much sooner for early career, whether it's judgment, whether it's being able to manage work, because you're delegating to agents much earlier,"
"I get asked all the time: should my child get a college degree, or just enter into the workforce?"
AI is increasingly embedded across workplace tasks, prompting debate about how to keep humans meaningfully involved. Simply keeping a human in the loop will not be sufficient; judgment will become the defining workforce skill. Workers require deliberate education and practice in decision-making so accountability results in true judgment rather than rote approval. Early-career employees will need elevated skills sooner, including delegation, quality control, and end-to-end design-thinking mindsets, as more work is delegated to AI agents. The rise of AI is reshaping education and career choices and emphasizing adaptable, judgment-focused skills.
