5 Skills to Keep Your Career Secure in the AI Era

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The development of artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly changing how companies operate. Administrative tasks, data processing, and content creation can now be automated using this technology. Amid these changes, concerns have emerged that some jobs may be replaced by AI. However, certain skills are still deemed necessary as they are difficult for machines to fully replace. According to him, these skills are also likely to become more valuable over the next five years. “For years, we have identified key skill areas that are more resilient to AI, transferable across industries, and likely to increase in value over the next five years,” Todd said, cited from CNBC on Friday, May 29, 2026. Here are five skills deemed AI-resistant according to Todd. Every organisation needs communicators who can explain the company’s mission, products, and services to both the public and internal stakeholders. Todd noted that as AI becomes more adept at generating large volumes of content, the ability to determine what content should be created will become increasingly important. “The ability to decide what to produce from the outset will grow in importance, as will the value of having good judgment about quality,” he explained. In practice, communication skills can be demonstrated through social media mastery, building audiences via newsletters, public relations expertise, and managing in-person events. This highlights that while AI can assist in rapidly producing communication materials, human touch in understanding audiences and building relationships remains essential. Beyond communication, social skills are also expected to remain crucial in the workplace.
