Career Blast in a Half
How do I get AI tech-literate without losing my human-ness? I Kate O’Neill
05 Mar 2025
The game of life (and work) has changed. It’s no longer about whether to use AI, but how to wield it while preserving what makes us irreplaceable. Kate O’Neill isn’t just another tech pundit. As an early Netflix employee and a sought-after “human technologist,” she sits at the intersection of algorithms and imagination. I pulled Kate away from her book tour and speaking engagements to help us uncover: •Why and how tech literacy is crucial in today’s job market—and how to approach it •The gaps between AI capabilities and human skills •How AI differs from past technological revolutions •Practical strategies to stay current—without feeling overwhelmed The Danger Zones •Rash leadership decisions to replace humans wholesale •The defeatist mindset that surrenders before the battle even begins •The “keeping up” treadmill that never stops accelerating Where You’ll Win •Contextual awareness that AI can’t replicate •Emotional intelligence that machines merely simulate •Curiosity that transforms anxiety into an advantage You won’t master every tool—and that’s not the point. This is: Approach tech with strategic playfulness, reimagining possibilities through your human lens. Instead of asking, “What can this do?” ask, “How might I do this differently?” Connect: Website: KOinsights.com Latest Book: What Matters Next (Available now) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kateoneill/ About Kate O’Neill •Featured in Wired Magazine, Wall Street Journal, Inc.com, and The New York Times •One of the first 100 employees at Netflix •Nearly 30 years working in technology •Author of What Matters Next and several other books on technology and human experience
