I missed this article somehow! You’re raising something I think about every day with my kids. Focusing on what AI can’t touch makes perfect sense. But I also want them to shape how AI affects their world, which makes AI literacy just as important. It's all very confusing and uncertain.
Your kids are lucky to have a mom who’s immersed in this space and stays attuned to the rapid changes happening around us. Everyone--no matter their age--needs to balance shaping AI with cultivating their own literacy and agency. It’s both exciting and a little scary. This is exactly where community and our relationships make all the difference :-D
There’s a lot of talk on the workforce side about “laddering in” if the bottom rungs are gone. I see some innovation on the higher ed side to meet that but not enough.
Thanks for sharing your insights, Logan (and for subscribing!). I agree. While I’ve noticed some innovation in higher ed and tech-focused community colleges, the pace of academic culture still feels too slow for what’s needed to prepare for a 'ladder-less' workplace that’s coming fast.
it’s really important. I also wanted to say that I was involved in the song of the Canary that was the movie that was done in. I believe it was 1978, which was a story of toxic chemicals in the workplace and cotton dust in the textile mills Along the same lines with the same stories with the same things that are still happening. Keep hope alive.

Dee, this is so insightful and 💯percent accurate. I’d like to repost on LinkedIn - have you published there?
Aww…thank you Patty. 😊
I plan to post it on LI this weekend and will let you know when I do. 🙌

Very interesting post, Dee!
Thank you, Joel! Anything in particular that resonates for you?
I’ve already started seeing this through my hiring process as I fill some marketing roles roles
@Dee it is so important that you are so thoughtfully raising these issues about the workforce that unions and employers better be paying attention to.
Hey Dee, I’m glad that your warbling continues.

I'm definitely a "hopeful warbler"! Ooh I want to learn more about this movie :-o
Thank you Chip! I've been known to warble a bit myself--been doing it for decades ;-)
Here is a link to part of the Song of the Canary (1979)
