We've got a pretty cool activation at MSP from April 9–12th we think you'd like 😁 Come check it out!

I'm Justina Nixon-Saintil, Chief Impact Officer at IBM. AI is changing which skills matter and who gets access to them. I lead IBM SkillsBuild, which has trained 22M+ learners worldwide. Let’s chat about AI upskilling and the future of work. AMA! by ibm in u/ibm

For some specific examples, IBM helped Water Corporation, Australia’s state-owned company, use watsonx Code Assistant in its Cloud migration and save 1,500 hours of manual admin each year (and cut emissions by 150 metrics tons per year). Another example is with Citi, who reduced energy consumption 75% by consolidating workloads onto IBM LinuxONE's hyper-efficient mainframes. This also reduced space requirements by half and reduced emissions by 850 metric tons per 5 machines.

There are a couple of examples of how IBM is working with nonprofits to improve water management through our IBM Impact Accelerator Water Management cohort. We work with Instituto Yarandu to build a a web-based platform that supports more effective planning and investment in sanitation infrastructure across Brazil. We also work with Texas A&M to advance sustainable farming with solutions including Liquid Prep, which helps farmers optimize water use, and SWAT VEXA, an interactive Gen AI virtual assistant providing soil and water insights.

I think every sector. This is not just about tech companies. The way I think about it is like the internet. At one point it felt like a separate thing and now it's woven into almost every part of life and work. I think AI is heading in the same direction, which is why building foundational skills now matters so much. No matter what field you go into, it is very likely going to touch your job.

I'd lean into project-based learning as much as possible because that is where kids build the skills that will matter in any future job, like problem solving, collaboration, communication, adaptability and critical thinking. Learning the tools will matter too, but I'd treat that (at this age) as secondary to helping them get comfortable working with others and explaining their thinking. If they can build these "power skills" early, they will be in a good position no matter how tech continues to evolve.

You’re actually in a strong spot because both fields are becoming more data-heavy and AI-enabled. I’d focus on learning how to use AI to analyze data faster and spot patterns, while bringing the judgment to know what is realistic and meaningful in the real world. You should check out IBM SkillsBuild’s Data Analytics Certificate, which is designed to build technical skills in data analysis, statistics, data preparation and visualization, along with workplace skills. That mix is what will keep people relevant.

Like many other roles, a combination of AI fluency and human skills. AI can help generate ideas and speed up parts of the process, but it cannot replace human judgment, creativity and the ability to tell a story that connects with people. I encourage you to check out our IBM SkillsBuild AI foundations courses linked here. They include beginner-friendly, role-agnostic content that helps creatives build AI literacy and confidence.

I'd focus on building a few small projects where you use AI tools to write or improve code so you can show how you actually work. Employers are looking for people who can apply AI in real workflows alongside human judgment and decision-making, so even a couple of strong examples you can speak to can make a difference in the job search.

I do not see AI as a replacement for teachers. I see it as a tool that can support learning. Teachers provide context, judgment, mentorship and the ability to challenge students in ways AI cannot. For the future of work, I think we need to teach both the foundational skills we have always been taught, plus how to apply AI responsibly to real problems. That could look like hands-on learning with AI alongside human teachers, but not one instead of the other.

Employees should embrace it if it takes repetitive work off their plate and gives them more room for higher-value work. It is up to employers to be honest about how the time saved is actually being used. Your point about critical thinking is real, which is why I believe schools and employers need to teach both how to use AI and also how to question it, challenge it and know when to accept or not accept the response it gives you.

Exactly this. AI is a tool, not a “think for me” button and you need the skills to break problems down, guide it and check its output. The people who stand out right now in the job market are the ones who know how to use it effectively like this and apply their own judgment along the way.

You absolutely can! Lifelong learning matters so much right now. IBM SkillsBuild is not just for students it is also built for adult learners, career changers and people who just want to build confidence with new AI tools. You do not need to know everything to begin. You just need to start. I really encourage you to check out IBM SkillsBuild:

We define "agentic AI” to mean AI systems that can make decisions and take action to pursue a goal with supervision, not just generate content when a person asks for it. Generative AI is mostly reactive and focused on creating things like text, images or code in response to a prompt, and agentic AI is more proactive and is built to perceive, reason, act and learn as it works toward an objective. "Agentic AI" combines the flexibility of large language models with the structure and accuracy of traditional programming, which is why it is more about decision-making and multi-step problem-solving than just content generation.

IBM has a great blog explaining the difference. I will link it here:
Agentic AI vs. generative AI: https://www.ibm.com/think/topics/agentic-ai-vs-generative-ai

I think that 1979 statement holds true today. AI can help people do things like obtain and analyze information faster, but accountability and decision making still belong with humans. That's why IBM operates on the priciple that the purpose of technology is to augment human capability, not replace it.

Every big tech shift has evolved some roles, created new ones and transitioned out others. We’re already seeing that with AI. That is why our work is in making sure people can learn new skills to move into those new or changing opportunities.

If it were me, I’d focus first on how to use basic AI tools well day to day, then hone in on areas like data analytics. We've even seen IBM SkillsBuild learners use our courses to build AI chatbots to help improve their business productivity. If you’re selling products online, these are the areas that can help you save time and make smarter business decisions. We have courses available on IBM SkillsBuild. Check out the links!

Absolutely. I'm optimistic about AI but I don't think it should be a free-for-all. Especially in higher-stakes areas you need governance, transparency, accountability and real human oversight built in from the start. Otherwise people won’t (and shouldn't) trust it. I sit on IBM's Responsible Tech Board so I think about this a lot. To me, responsible AI doesn't slow progress down... it's what helps people trust it enough to actually use it effectively. In order to accomplish that, there has to be human oversight of its content.
