As AI becomes embedded in how we work and learn, the real challenge is knowing when to use it, when to question it, and when to rely on our own judgment.\nIn this episode, I speak with Rahim Hirji, Founder & Managing Director at SuperSkills, longtime edtech leader, and author of SuperSkills: The seven human skills for the age of AI. Rahim has spent more than a decade thinking about the human capabilities that become more important as technology becomes more powerful. His perspective is clear. The skills that will matter most in the AI era are not simply technical. They are the distinctly human capabilities that help us remain intentional about how we think, decide, and work.\nWe talk about Rahim’s concept of “drift versus design,” why discernment may be one of the most important skills we can develop, and the danger of outsourcing too much of our judgment to AI. We explore the seven superskills he believes will become more valuable as AI advances, why learning teams need to become architects of capability rather than simply creators of content, and how organisations can decide which work should remain deliberately human.\nRahim leaves us with an important question: if AI disappeared tomorrow, would we still know how to do our jobs? Productivity matters, but not if it comes at the cost of the judgment, agency, and capability we need to think for ourselves.\n\nSome curious takeaways:\nBuild AI fluency while strengthening human judgment and discernment\nDesign intentional relationships with AI instead of drifting into dependency\nDevelop the SuperSkills that become more valuable in the AI era\n\nEpisode highlights:\n(00:00) Welcome to Harald’s Curious Corner\n(01:21) Life since the SuperSkills book launch\n(02:44) The perfect timing for a book about AI and humanity\n(06:23) Drift vs design, the core concept of the book\n(07:57) Where is the line between AI helping and AI deciding\n(10:02)...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/FG-8Qa20DpR75migQzJyOrVTLX_iP1P41938xDc_r1c/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xODkz/ZDhjYjM5YTA1NDk0/MjM0ZDVkNzIzNzU2/YmUyNi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
