By 2027, AI
could displace around 69 million jobs globally โ
and itโs 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
