Nurturing creativity and analytical skills: Paving the path forward in the generative AI era

Arnold Ochieng, General Manager of Workforce Africa.

The recent development of Generative Artificial Intelligence, also known as AI, represents an important shift in the way we view work and the abilities needed to succeed in the workforce in the constantly changing world of technology and digitisation. As this transformational period develops, it becomes more and more clear that maintaining a careful balance between creativity and analytical ability is essential to safeguarding the job market.

Without a doubt, the rapid growth of AI technologies has transformed several businesses, improving productivity and simplifying procedures. But as robots get better at doing repetitive jobs, the importance of characteristics that are specific to humans-like creativity, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence-increases.
