AI Revolution: Evolve or Lose Out: A Chat with HR Guru, Marina Dorkhova
Picture this: Marina Dorkhova, the mastermind behind HH.ru's "Skills and Career" department, sheds light on the debate stirring up the job market. No, it's not AI stealing jobs, but the lack of adaptation to AI-driven transformation that's causing the ruckus.
"AI ain't snatching jobs," Dorkhova declares in an interview. "The issue? Many specialists aren't agile, refusing to learn new tricks. A seasoned developer with an Ivy League education and decades of experience could still find themselves in the unemployment line if they're stuck in their old ways and not picking up new skills."
Dorkhova stresses that AI is just another tool, though a powerful one, that needs a human touch to tap its true potential. AI alone can't outshine an expert, it needs a versatile human to make it hum.
In today's market, employers crave adaptable workers who can keep up with the AI times. After all, AI is giving birth to skills we've never seen before—skills like seamlessly synching with machines, giving AI tasks it can actually handle, interpreting results, and knowing when humans need to jump in.
Dorkhova points to a silver lining in this digital storm. While AI specialists are being shown the door worldwide, Russia is witnessing an increased demand for AI-savvy professionals. Can you imagine? Last year, over 4,200 jobs mentioned AI, reflecting a 4% surge. Some sectors have even seen a skyrocketing growth: +136% in development, 101% in education, and 55% in finance.
But remember, just knowing AI isn't enough. It's about being able to communicate, keeping emotions in check, learning swiftly, and thinking on your feet. It's about optimizing processes, being innovative, and most importantly, being ethical.
