Patricia Reiners: 我认为到2030年，现在85%的工作岗位还未被发明。人工智能正在自动化许多任务，而我们过去认为这些任务需要人类智能。因此，我认为未来真正重要的是那些机器无法复制的人文技能。这些技能包括批判性思维，即驾驭复杂性和错误信息的能力；情商，即在自动化世界中理解和管理情绪的能力；沟通，即清晰且有说服力地解释复杂想法的能力；以及文化智力，即在全球团队中蓬勃发展的能力。我坚信，未来属于那些能够掌握这些技能并将其应用于工作和生活中的人。

Shownotes Transcript

In this episode, we’re tackling one of the biggest questions in the future of work:

💡 What are the skills that will truly future-proof your career?

By 2030, 85% of the jobs that will exist haven’t even been invented yet. AI is already automating tasks we thought required human intelligence—so what skills will actually set us apart?

The answer isn’t just technical skills like coding or design. Those can be learned, updated, or even replaced by AI. Instead, the most valuable skills of the future are the human skills—the ones machines can’t replicate:

✔️ Critical Thinking – Navigating complexity and misinformation✔️ Emotional Intelligence (EQ) – Thriving in a world of automation✔️ Communication – Translating complexity into clarity✔️ Cultural Intelligence (CQ) – Working across global teams

📌 Key Takeaway: The future of UX and work in general won’t be about what tools you know—it will be about how you think, connect, and adapt.
