If you have kids, they’re probably back in school right now after the summer break. Mine are too.

My kids range from 9 to 20 years old, and lately I’ve been thinking a lot about what their future careers are going to look like.

Some schools are embracing AI in the classroom. Others are banning it completely. I’m not sure either side has figured out the right answer yet—I’m not sure any of us have.

What I do know is that AI is already changing how engineers, and nearly every other knowledge worker, does their job. So I’ve been thinking: What skills do I actually want my kids to develop for an AI-augmented workforce?

The more I use AI, the more convinced I am that it’s a multiplier, not a substitute.

Give a great researcher AI tools and they can accelerate their research. Give an experienced software engineer the same tools and they can build at an incredible rate. But put those tools in the hands of someone without foundational knowledge and you often get something else you’re used to seeing way too much of: slop.

We’ve all seen the vibe-coded applications that barely work. Our inboxes are filled with emails that sound suspiciously identical. Teachers are reading papers that sound like they were all written by the same person.
