In this brief article by Zat Rana, he builds a case for his opinion that the future belongs to the polymaths – people who are expert generalists and can see problems and connect solutions across increasingly broad domains – rather than specialists who go very deep on very narrow problems. Part of his case is that the more specialized the problem, the easier it is to build AI to solve it, making the specialist’s job lose value. The good news – as Walter Isaacson said in a recent podcast, anyone can be a daVinci or a Franklin because the key skill of the polymath is an intense curiosity, and to be curious is simply a choice.
