Hello, tech-savvy folks! 
Bilang unang friday of the month, I’d like to ask you some-tech-tastic questions.
As the world are rapidly evolving and so as the industries are becoming innovative, what skills do you think are worth investing today that also have an edge against AI? 
Can’t wait to read your answers
We need to learn how to co-exist with AI. Fundamentals of AI and Generative AI (GenAI) will enable us to understand their capabilities and limitations. Prompt Engineering skills ensures that we are able to give GenAI proper context of our request, so that it will respond with much more accurate results. Lastly, Research skills, even GenAI can hallucinate and make mistakes we must learn how to verify the results. I hope this advice will helps you a lot!
Totally agree with @kofee_jan ! We shouldn’t try to fight or resist AI – it’s here to stay, so we should learn how to leverage it instead to multiply our effectiveness.
But to be truly AI-resistant, we need to focus on so skills that will be difficult for AI to replicate, such as complex problem solving, emotional intelligence and empathy, ability to lead terms and execute “offline” projects.
Learning how to work with AI is the best AI-proof skill we can have today same with the things said above. AI is definitely here to stay and learning how to best use it to improve our work and daily life will become a competitive advantage sooner rather than later.
To stay competitive in an AI-driven world, it’s essential to focus on skills that AI can’t easily replace. Critical thinking and problem-solving are key, as AI can handle data but struggles with challenging assumptions and thinking creatively. In product management, empathy-driven design and strategic vision remain human strengths, as AI cannot replicate the deep understanding of users’ needs. Cloud and DevOps engineering continue to demand human expertise in building, scaling, and maintaining infrastructure, even with AI tools assisting. Cybersecurity is another area where humans are still needed to design robust defense strategies against increasingly sophisticated threats. Understanding and guiding AI interactions, or becoming proficient in AI literacy and prompt engineering, will give you an edge. Emotional intelligence and leadership remain irreplaceable, as AI can’t lead teams or build trust in the same way humans can. Finally, in data storytelling and communication, while AI can analyze, it’s up to humans to craft compelling narratives and effectively engage stakeholders. By blending technical expertise with human-centric skills like creativity, leadership, and empathy, you’ll position yourself ahead of the curve.
I think it’s worth noting that to have an edge against AI we should know how to properly utilize it to its maximum capabilities to enhance task efficiency on our end, it’s more like working together with AI rather than competing with it. But to answer what skills have an edge against AI, it’s worth investing in human-centric skills that AI would have difficulty to replicate like emotional intelligence, creative problem solving, and other soft skills like relationship building and communication skills that are applicable to live settings in the workplace
I’m not a tech-savvy person but as someone who is still learning to use AI tools. I find that it is important to get to know them. It is also important to acknowledge that we are advancing in regard with tech and AI, we can’t avoid them. We have to co-exist. We have to admit that AI has helped as, continues to do so but also to remember that we, humans, can also do things beyond what is expected of us.
