When Technology Makes You Question Your Own Value

When Technology Makes You Question Your Own Value | Episode 6 of 20. What happens when artificial intelligence makes you question your skills, experience and professional value? As AI changes the workplace, many people are not only worried about losing their jobs. They're beginning to wonder whether they still matter. In Episode 6 of the Emotional Intelligence Developer Podcast, part of AI, Work & Human Identity: Understanding the Emotional Impact of Artificial Intelligence, we explore AI anxiety, self-worth, career confidence, workplace insecurity, artificial intelligence and employment, automation, professional identity and emotional resilience. This episode looks at what happens when technology changes the skills you once relied on for confidence. We examine the difference between a skill becoming less rare and a person becoming less valuable, and why comparing yourself with people who seem better at AI can damage your confidence. You'll also explore how emotional intelligence, self-awareness, adaptability, human judgement, communication and continuous learning can help you respond to technological change without allowing it to determine how you see yourself. If you're questioning your value because of AI, automation, changing workplace expectations or the future of your career, this episode offers a practical way to think about what you bring to the table and what you may need to develop next. Explore the free wellbeing tools, quizzes and resources available on the Emotional Intelligence Developer website to help you develop self-awareness, confidence, emotional resilience and emotional wellbeing.
