AI could help you find a new career path — but this University of Phoenix expert says there’s one thing it can’t do for you
John Woods, Ph.D., Provost and Chief Academic Officer at the University of Phoenix, gave us a better understanding of discovering new career pathways with AI.
The University of Phoenix expert, Dr. John Woods, highlights the potential of AI in helping individuals discover new career paths, but warns that AI cannot replace certain crucial aspects of career development. According to a Career Optimism Index® survey, 53% of workers are using AI to develop skills, with writing assistance being the most common application (57%), followed by data analysis/research (50%) and training and development (38%).
However, Dr. Woods emphasizes that AI should not be viewed as a standalone skill, but rather as an integral part of various professions. He stresses that technical skills and durable human skills, such as critical thinking, judgment, and collaboration, remain essential, with AI fluency acting as the connecting layer between these components.
