Hold onto your resumes, Gen Z! 🤖 The rise of agentic AI is flipping traditional career ladders upside down – especially for entry-level roles. But at Summer Davos 2025, experts served up hope with a side of strategy during the 🔥 'Career Pathways: Rewired' session.
📈 "AI isn't stealing jobs – it's redesigning them," says Peking University's Prof. Zhang Dandan. She compares today's workforce shift to the smartphone revolution: "We didn't lose communication – we upgraded it. Now we're upgrading how we work."
NxtWave CEO Rahul Attuluri dropped truth bombs 💣: "Coding skills alone won't cut it. Employers want AI whisperers who can bridge tech and creativity." His tip? Master prompt engineering – the art of talking to machines like a pro.
🌍 Global Shapers' Georgina Mondino brought the hype: "This is your chance to build careers that don't even exist yet!" Think: AI ethics consultants or metaverse event planners. 🕶️
