Stop asking if AI will take your job. Start asking these 3 questions that actually matter for your career.

The factory worker in 1920 didn’t worry about whether electricity would take their job. They worried about how to use electricity to become indispensable.

You’re asking the wrong question, and it’s costing you precious time.

Here’s what you should be asking instead:

“What do I do that others find valuable, but struggle to replicate?”

Maybe it’s your ability to read a room during negotiations. Your knack for spotting patterns in market trends. Or how you build trust with skeptical clients. These aren’t just skills – they’re your unique fingerprints in the business world.

“How can I use AI to amplify what I’m already great at?”

The chess grandmaster doesn’t fear the chess computer. They learn from it. Study with it. Use it to explore moves they never considered. What’s your equivalent? If you’re great at writing proposals, AI isn’t your replacement – it’s your personal editing team, your research assistant, your brainstorming partner.

“What parts of my expertise can I teach AI to clone, so I can scale myself?”

Think about it. If you could clone your problem-solving approach, your industry insights, your decision-making framework – and let that clone handle the routine parts of your work – what would you do with the freed-up time to create even more value?

The real opportunity isn’t in competing with AI. It’s in becoming the architect of your own AI-enhanced future. The person who knows how to combine human insight with artificial intelligence isn’t replaceable – they’re irreplaceable.

The question isn’t whether AI will take your job. The question is: Will you be bold enough to take your expertise, amplify it with AI, and become someone whose value can’t be replicated by either humans or machines alone?

The future belongs to those who stop defending their job from AI and start using AI to defend their value in the marketplace.

What’s your move?
