AI is transforming the job market, but instead of asking, “Will AI take my job?” we should be asking:

“How do I prepare for the future of work?”

In this episode of The Yelo Room, I speak with Professor Armen Pischdotchian, a former IBM Data Scientist with 22 years of experience and now a university professor teaching graduate and undergraduate AI courses.

We explore:

• How AI is reshaping careers

• What skills will help you stay relevant

• How to adapt in a world of constant layoffs

• Why AI can create new opportunities for those ready to learn

If you’re navigating uncertainty in the job market or trying to future-proof your career, this conversation is for you.
