(1) No one knows what the future is. So hedge your bets. (2) Abilities AI can't do (yet)


"This is the first time in history nobody has any idea what the world will look like in 10 years — what the job market will look like, what social relations will look like, et cetera. So hedge your bets. Don’t focus on a narrow subject like coding. 

Give equal importance to your head (intellectual skills), your heart (social skills) and your hands (motor skills). It is in the combination of these three that humans still have a large advantage over A.I."

"For the past several months, I’ve been wrestling with a question that is becoming unavoidable for all of us: Where does human capability end, and where does artificial intelligence capability begin?​

Some people look at AI with concern, others with excitement, and many with curiosity. ​

Instead of focusing only on what AI is becoming capable of doing, I decided to reflect on something different: which abilities remain deeply, fundamentally human.​

Over the past months, I identified 30 capabilities that, in my judgment, AI still cannot truly perform — and these are precisely the skills where I am intentionally investing more of my own development. ​

Abilities AI can't do (yet)
 Abilities AI can't do (yet)
As a chemical engineer, I organized them as a kind of “Periodic Table of Human Abilities”  grouping them into six dimensions:​
• Judgment and Decision-Making ⚖️​
• Influence and Communication 🗣️​
• Emotional Connection ❤️​
• Contextual and Social Awareness 🌍​
• Human Essence and Growth 🌱​
• Adaptability and Creativity 🎨​

The more powerful technology becomes, the clearer one idea feels to me: our future advantage will not come from competing with machines, but from strengthening what makes us human. ​

Do you agree with these capabilities?​

Is there any skill you believe is missing — or any that you think AI may start replicating sooner than we expect? "
