Description

By 2027, AI could displace around 69 million jobs globally โ€” and itโ€™s likely that women will be disproportionately impacted. This is due to women over-indexing in high risk industries (think retail, healthcare, and clerical roles), and because approximately 70% of clerical and administrative jobs globally are held by women.

Hannah Maude is sounding the alarm and offering a lifeline.

In this episode of RemAining Human, I sit down with Hannah Maude -- founder of Fire Up Skills, which empowers women to move from AI-impacted to AI-empowered -- to discuss everything from her work with Fire Up Skills to her own career pivot to the realities of pending technological disruption. Hannah shares her framework for navigating an AI-driven career pivot and advice on how to get started โ€” even when grappling with massive change can feel overwhelming.

Because irregardless of your gender, this conversation may be helpful for any professional feeling uncertain about technological disruption and career changes. I find a certain comfort in knowing we are all feeling the discomfort of this uncertainty.ย 

Listen in to learn:

๐Ÿ‘‰ How to map your existing professional skills to AI roles, with specific examples of transferable competencies across marketing, sales, HR, and governance.

๐Ÿ‘‰ The PLAN B career strategy: Hannahsโ€™s step-by-step framework for identifying your unique strengths, leveraging them in emerging tech fields, and building confidence to make a bold career transition.

๐Ÿ‘‰ The importance of developing your AI values so that you can proactively and intentionally design your use of AI to align with what you value.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Networking strategies, including advice for building a supportive network, via attending tech events, asking meaningful questions, and connecting with mentors in AI-adjacent fields.

More than anything โ€” we stress the importance of supporting each other and of holding AI companies to account to create AI is representative of both male and female perspectives. Because only when a diversity of voices are elevated will we build technology that is representative of all humans.ย
