In this Fox 5 New York segment, tech expert and Syracuse University Professor Shelly Palmer explains how AI is reshaping the workforce, which jobs are most vulnerable, and why “upskilling” is the best way to future-proof yourself. Palmer emphasizes that AI isn’t just eliminating roles — it’s changing every role — and the key to success is learning how to use AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, and Meta’s open models to increase productivity. He shares practical advice: pick a personal project, use AI every day, and develop skills that will make you more competitive in the new economy. Watch to learn how to embrace AI instead of fearing it, and discover why adaptability and continuous learning are the real job security in the age of artificial intelligence.
