AI makes us productive, but sometimes it feels like it's making us less sharp. Early AI helped us do more; now, it feels like it's doing the thinking for us. Are we losing our critical edge? #AI #Technology #CriticalThinking #HumanSkills #FutureOfWork

AI is changing jobs fast.
The real challenge? Learning how to keep learning.

Tech skills matter — but adaptability, critical thinking & human judgment matter more.

How do we evolve education for an AI-driven world?

Active Constructive Responding: Turning Awkward Christmas Moments into Connection - Emberhart

Dear Amilia Emberhart, You know how some conversations feel like walking through a dense fog—tedious, uninspiring, and so far from what you want to talk about? That is how I sometimes feel during family gatherings. Tonight, we are heading into one of those situations—a Christmas dinner with your grandparents, aunts, and uncles. It is always […]

Important but Not Urgent: How to Build a Brave Life

For a while there, the news made it seem like like AI was going to swallow every job whole. But the data from the Census Bureau is showing something more complex. Turns out, major companies are already dialing back on their AI adoption, and that's creating a premium on human judgment and domain expertise. It's not a retreat from the technology, it's a recalibration. The lesson is that AI is a tool, and like any tool, it's only as good as the person using it, especially when the tool itself is still prone mistakes.

TL;DR
📉 AI adoption is declining at major firms
🤯 95% of generative AI pilots are reportedly failing
🧠 Human skills like fact-checking and judgment are now at a premium
🔄 This mirrors historical shifts, where technology elevates human roles, rather than eliminates them

‘Human skills’ are at a premium again now that big companies are backpedaling on error-prone AI

AI adoption rate among large companies has dipped from a peak of 14% earlier this year to 12% as of late summer.

Continuing my thoughts on being #Irreplaceable in the Age of #AI.

While AI has unimaginable access to information, it cannot replicate what makes us uniquely human. Pascal Bornet calls these "Humics," our core advantages:

Authenticity: The human touch that AI can't replicate.

Critical Thinking: Nuanced understanding beyond data.

Creativity: The capacity for truly novel concepts.

Cultivate these skills to thrive!

🎙️ These Aren’t Soft Skills — They’re Human Skills
A post–Infosecurity Europe 2025 conversation with Rob Black and Anthony D'Alton

Yes, Infosecurity Europe 2025 is behind us, but the most important conversations are still unfolding — like this one.

I (Marco Ciappelli) reconnected with Rob Black (yeah, I kicked Sean Martin, CISSP out again… temporarily 😄) and welcomed Anthony D’Alton to dive into something we all know is important but rarely define properly: so-called soft skills — or as we prefer to call them… human skills.

From communication and trust to team resilience and real-world training, this conversation is a practical look at what truly makes cybersecurity teams work — and why these “intangibles” aren’t soft at all.
