Will soft skills become the most wanted worldwide?

Today is Sunday, a day when my mind gets wired even more weird than it does on weekdays.
So, here’s something that happened from a conversation with one of our MBA summer interns who was just finishing his internship. As he dropped me on his bike late evening at the bus stop from where I take my bus home, he asked me, “????? ? ?????? ?? ??? ?????? ? ?? ??? ??????? ?????????? ?? ????? ?? ?? ???????”
He had interned with us for Product Management and provided valuable support for some of the initial experiments we are carrying out for CliDemy – the Climate Academy.
Our specialty focus areas include
Net Zero by Narsi
Insights and interactions on climate action by Narasimhan Santhanam, Director - EAI

That brief discussion stayed in mind and after I finished organizing our first Clidemy classroom session pilot on Digital for Decarbonization at IIT Madras (thank you THE ENERGY CONSORTIUM – IIT MADRAS for supporting that!), where AI was one of the dominant themes, and the following question popped up in my mind earlier today:
?? ?? ????? ???? ??? ???? (?? ???? ???????? ???????) ?? ???????? ?? ???? ?????????, ???? ??? ??? ???? ???? ????? ?? ?????? ???? ???? ???
??? ??? ?????? ???? ???? ?? ?? ???? ??????: ???? ???? ???? ? ????? ????????? ????????.
??. ?????. ???????? ????????? ?????????. ?????? ?????????.
You know, the types of jobs that require a good amount of what are called soft skills and people skills.
These are the job types that usually are not in the limelight (except for sales).
Most of these jobs are unlikely to be badly affected by AI – at least for a couple of generations, God knows what tech can do beyond that, one day you might even be able to cry on AI’s “shoulders”!
As we have more machines and invisible lines of code controlling our lives and work, and as people at work struggle to find shoulders to cry on or people to laugh with, ?? ??? ????? ??? ???? ?????? ???? ????? ???? ???? ?????? ????? ??? ???? ????? ???? ?????? ???????? ??? ?????????? ?? ???????
I have a feeling they could. What about you?
