Far from the doom and gloom headlines of AI taking our jobs, it is precisely the things that make us human that make us more employable.

Broadly, the skills most in demand fit into three categories:

Teaching and learning, of oneself and others

Understanding systems, whether those be human relationships, or the interface between human and machine

Creativity, such as originality and the ability to generate ideas
