Could you let me know if you are already clear about your resolutions for 2025? You may have thought about getting in shape, saving money, or investing in your education. How about adding “learn AI” to the list? In a world where digital transformation is advancing at full speed, artificial intelligence is emerging as the essential skill to thrive professionally and to add value in this new scenario.
Before reading on, I invite you to write down your resolutions for this year. Please write down your goals and include them in your diary or journal or wherever you want; the simple act of writing them down will help you turn those intentions into reality!
Why Should You Learn AI?
AI is not just another technology; it is redefining the employment landscape, consumer relationships, and even how we communicate globally. Large companies (such as Klarna, in partnership with OpenAI) have shown us that automation and artificial intelligence are the present, and to deny it is to be left behind.
- Job Revolution: Thousands of jobs are changing or disappearing, but new opportunities are also being created for those with AI skills.
- Growth Tool: Whether you are a marketer, designer, teacher or entrepreneur, AI can improve your processes and multiply your reach.
- Competitive Advantage: Learning AI today positions you as a professional ready to take on the challenges of the future and, in the process, makes you stand out in the job market.
Two Sides of the Coin: Risk and Opportunity
- The Risk: AI may automate some of your current work or radically transform your industry. As happened at Klarna, repetitive and administrative tasks are being taken over by bots and algorithms.
- The Opportunity: Every time technology closes one door, new ones open. Specialized professions and roles emerge thanks to AI, which means a range of possibilities for those trained in this area.

- Organize your time: Use virtual assistants such as ChatGPT to create to-do lists, plan your day or find quick ideas to solve everyday problems.

- Automate the Repetitive: Set up basic automation with tools like Zapier to save time on administrative or management tasks.
Each of these steps can turn you into someone with new tools on your side, able to leverage AI to make your daily life easier and discover new career opportunities. It’s like unlocking a superpower that sets you up for a future full of possibilities!
