Dianna and Greg discuss your employability in the AI age. So, let’s run a hypothetical. You’re a 22 year old mechanical engineer. You do robotic quality and reliability with a knowledge half-life of 4 years. That means by the time you’re 26 knowledge in your domain has doubled. Let’s say, you’re now 30. Knowledge in your domain has quadruped. Problem: you have not updated your knowledge skills and abilities. Are you still employable.
