With new AI like Manus that can do not just the information gathering (ChatGPT) and thinking (DeepSeek) but also the execution, what does this leave humans with?  Actually, my extensive experience (29 years) as a trainer positions me perfectly to focus on uniquely human skills that AI like Magnus will struggle to replicate in the near term. Here’s a breakdown of high-value areas to emphasize, along with actionable strategies for my training programs: 1. Emotional Intelligence (EQ) & Human Connection Why AI struggles: AI lacks genuine empathy, intuition, and the ability to read subtle emotional cues (e.g., body language, tone shifts).

The connection between artificial intelligence (AI) and Yijing (I Ching) lies in their shared interest in pattern recognition, decision-making, and understanding complex systems. 1. Pattern Recognition : AI systems often rely on pattern recognition to make sense of large datasets and make predictions or decisions. Similarly, Yijing is a Chinese text that has been used for centuries as a divination tool based on the interpretation of patterns formed by hexagrams (six-line diagrams). 2. Decision-Making : AI algorithms are designed to make decisions based on input data and predefined rules. Yijing provides a framework for decision-making through the interpretation of hexagrams and their changing lines, offering insights into various situations and potential outcomes. 3. Understanding Complex Systems : Both AI and Yijing seek to understand complex systems and phenomena. AI algorithms aim to model and understand complex systems such as human behavior, weather patterns, financial markets, e...
