Not knowing how to use AI will be the equivalent of illiteracy
AI is on the rise. Narrowly focused variants of it are emerging and will be used to varying degrees in all sorts of fields. You will still get by without knowing AI for a long time to come; however, it could happen that illiteracy in this area will soon begin to limit you. So you should explain to subordinates that they should not see AI as something hostile but rather, in their own interest, start to get to grips with these tools and see how they can use them in their work.
An ideal combination is unique hard skills and knowing how to use AI
As Management Today states, unique knowledge and experience in an industry will always be more important than knowing how to use AI. But the most successful people will be those who possess the unique combination of hard skills in their field and the ability to operate AI tools. This will add to their value on the job market and enhance their contribution to the team they work for.
Increase productivity, work efficiency and competitiveness
Some AI tools are extremely helpful in increasing work efficiency, saving time, improving productivity and, as a result, being more competitive. This is true at the level of individual workers, teams, and ultimately entire companies. Motivate your subordinates so they don't miss the boat when it comes to AI.
Remember subordinate satisfaction
Last but not least, it is a good idea to give subordinates the opportunity to develop in the field of AI if only because many of them are interested in this new technology. Training in this area will contribute to their development and overall sense of satisfaction. It would be unwise to force subordinates to work with AI; however, it is appropriate to allow those who want to develop their AI skills to do so.
