This Wharton professor says becoming a plumber won't save you or your kids from AI — but these 4 things could

AI is way more capable than you think, says Wharton management prof Ethan Mollick. That means you — and your kids — need to figure out how to adapt.

Wharton management professor Ethan Mollick says AI doesn't make people unemployable, but it changes the skills needed in the workforce. While he advises people to learn how to use AI, Mollick believes becoming a plumber or working in a field where hands-on skills matter won't be enough to protect anyone from AI's impact. Instead, Mollick suggests that young people focus on developing deep knowledge in a specific area, broad knowledge across various subjects, developing their taste for what's best, and learning how to work effectively with AI.
