In the age of A.I. and machine learning, just being more productive won’t cut it. The future belongs to the creatives.


""In the Human Productivity Parabola (see graph above), we have now passed the point — call it the 'Productivity-Creativity Inversion' — where machines (algorithms, robots, etc.) have become a better investment for future productivity gains than humans. At this point, we as humans are better off spending our energy on creativity than on productivity.

""If productivity, previously scarce and valuable, is increasingly abundant and commoditized, then we must shift our investments — from how we educate our children to how we plan our careers — to creativity, a truly scarce resource whose value is on the rise."" - Scott Belsky
