Are you ready for the most significant economic shift since the Industrial Revolution?

In Episode 130 of The AI Podcast, "AI Proof Your Career," we dive deep into the rapidly changing landscape of work. As artificial intelligence automates prediction and data processing, the value of unique human capabilities is skyrocketing. We explore how you can navigate this painful but manageable transition by mastering the intersection of technical skill and human intuition.

• The Economics of AI: Drawing from expert economic analysis, we break down why AI is a "prediction machine" and why human judgment—the ability to determine what to predict and why—is becoming the most valuable asset in the workforce.

• 9 High-Income AI Skills: Based on insights from Dan Martell, we detail tactical, high-leverage skills you can start learning today, including Prompt Engineering, AI Content Marketing, and workflow automation.
