How to Protect Your Job: What Humans Can Do that AI Can’t

Protecting your job in the age of AI involves focusing on the aspects that make us uniquely human. While AI is advanced in certain areas, there are still capabilities that machines struggle to replicate, especially in real-world, complex, or emotionally nuanced environments.

In this session, you will explore how to thrive in the age of AI by:

• Understanding the importance of human-centred skills
• Gaining awareness of approaches to problem-solving and critical thinking
• Discussing the role of creativity and original thinking at work
• Considering how your values and ethics can guide your choices at work

Don’t compete with AI. Collaborate with it.

Who should attend?

• All undergraduate/postgraduate students who are planning to attend the NUS Career Fest

This is a pre-event workshop for NUS Career Fest 2025.
