Creative Skills and the future of AI

Bezos just said the quiet part out loud – technical skills aren't creative skills – and which is more valuable in a future with AI.

.

Last week in Turin, for Italian Tech Week, the Amazon Founder spoke candidly on the future of AI:

"AI is a master of optimising what is already known, making existing systems more efficient. Humans, however, are the sole authors of invention—the act of creating the new".

According to Bezos, this means that jobs based on repetitive calculations, predictable processes, and routine administration face the highest risk of automation.

This perspective carries immediate and profound consequences for the modern labor market, particularly for professionals who stake their value on technical certifications and learned knowledge alone.

Bezos argued that technical skills are commodities that can be acquired through courses and training.

The future value in the marketplace will not be found in knowing how to use a digital tool, but in imagining entirely new applications for it.

Technical skills aren't creative skills – ideas, solutions, design and innovation, rely on creative skills.
