Ai and jobs

In his article, Ed Newton-Rex highlights Silicon Valley's ambition to fully automate labor through AI and robotics, aiming to capture the value of global wages. While some professions may remain resistant to automation, the rapid advancement of AI and robotics threatens to displace many jobs. This trend underscores the importance of developing human-centric skills that AI cannot replicate.

At Epic Lead Academy in Cary, we recognize the critical need for students to cultivate character integrity, social skills, and essential soft skills. Our 12-week workshop is designed to empower students with empathy, effective communication, and ethical decision-making abilities. By focusing on these human-centric competencies, we prepare students to thrive in an AI-driven world where such skills are invaluable.
