I can finally reveal details on what I have been working on for the past few weeks.
As part of my work to "retrain" myself as an AI-integrated freelancer, I've not just been trying to learn AI coding techniques under the AIAP Foundations Course. Like a professional software engineer, I've been actively using ChatGPT to answer tutorial questions, refactor my code, and push code to GitHub. However, I don't have a firm foundation in software engineering skills and find going to GitHub challenging. And it's just amazing that because I have some domain expertise and common sense, AI becomes a powerful partner in solving deep technical questions in data science.
In the process, I've become a lot more sensitive to possible disruptions in the workplace. It's no longer replacing one senior employee with three cheaper and younger junior employees, as I was in my 30s. Nowadays, it's more like replacing four to five senior employees with one junior employee armed with an AI subscription and strong generalist skills.
So what does this mean for tomorrow's workers?
This is exactly what my cousin-in-law and I wanted to address when we started work on the AI Explorer's Masterclass, a two-day enrichment program for 9-13-year-olds. We intend to pilot this during the June Holidays.
The poster for the program is up, and I intend to use my channels to drive sign-ups.
If you have a kid aged 9-13 and you want to find some interesting activities for them, do refer to this graphic, scan the QR code below, or just email me at waichung.ng@gmail.com.
