Learning in the Age of AI: Forget Foresight, Think Just-in-Time

Alvin Toffler’s words ring louder than ever: “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.”

In our rapidly evolving #AI driven world, the traditional approach of learning today for the world of tomorrow (3-5 years out) feels increasingly outdated. By the time we’ve planned and acquired those skills, the landscape has often shifted dramatically.

The real challenge isn’t just what to learn, but how and when. This is where I think Just-in-Time Learning becomes paramount.

Instead of stocking up on knowledge we might need in the future, we need to master the skill of acquiring precisely what we do need, at the moment we need it, for the specific task or challenge before us.

Just-in-Time Learning is about building agility – the ability to quickly identify a knowledge gap, find reliable resources, process information efficiently, and apply it effectively to solve problems presented by AI’s rapid advancements.

This means cultivating adaptability, strong problem-solving skills, and comfort with continuous, on-demand learning.

Embracing Just-in-Time Learning is key to staying relevant and impactful. It’s less about predicting the future skillset and more about building the capacity to adapt to it instantly.

How are you shifting your learning strategy to thrive in the age of AI?
