Oby illustrates how intentional AI use can build confidence, agency, lifelong learning, critical thinking, and more inclusive connection with colleagues and stakeholders, while also helping people move from fear of obsolescence to informed engagement. He describes how his own anxiety about AI led him to research it and use it in ways aligned with his work as Careers practitioner, emphasizing that AI may automate administrative tasks and change some roles while reinforcing the irreplaceable human-centred, relational core of careers practice.
