ChatGPT, now Bard, and more are on the way with integrations galore. They are great tools and I have been using them for research, helping to generate some ideas, helping with Excel

formulas, and building Microsoft Automate Flows. However the real value of my work is around creativity, engaging people, collaborating, and problem-solving. CAN AI REPLACE ME? In my job, I

interact with 1000+ people a year including fellow colleagues, clients, charity partners, suppliers, and more. This doesn't include any extracurricular community development work I am

doing. That’s 1000s upon 1000s of times I am interacting face to face, over Teams/Zoom, on the phone, over chat, email, slack, socials, and more. The content I'm covering is high-impact

interactive meetings and sessions, complex deliveries, and learning outcomes. Tracking and reporting outcomes and impacts. My role is overwhelmingly about interacting with humans, issuing

instructions, tackling challenges, and answering a multitude of questions with hyper-tailored and functional answers. COULD AI ONE DAY REPLACE WHAT I DO? I DON’T THINK IT’S IMPOSSIBLE, BUT

NOT ANYTIME SOON! So, I asked ChatGPT, ‘I am a Digital Inclusion Project Manager, can AI replace me in my job?’ Here is the reply. Great points… or maybe it's just telling me what I

want to hear? Strictly speaking, it didn't say NO. But I think ill be long retired before AI can replace me. I love that ChatGPT was giving me a bit of career advice at the end. Enjoy!

Here we go: As a language model, I can provide you with an objective answer based on current AI capabilities and limitations. While AI has made significant progress in recent years, it still

lacks the ability to fully replicate human skills such as creativity, empathy, and critical thinking. As a Digital Inclusion Project Manager, your job requires a range of skills that are

difficult to automate, such as: * Human interaction and communication skills: As a project manager, you need to communicate effectively with team members, stakeholders, and clients. AI lacks

the ability to understand human emotions and social cues, which makes it challenging to replace human interaction. * Problem-solving and decision-making skills: Project managers are often

required to make complex decisions that involve multiple variables and stakeholders. AI can assist with data analysis and provide recommendations, but ultimately, it is up to the human

decision-makers to make the final call. * Creativity and Problem-Solving Abilities: Digital Inclusion Project Managers need to be creative and adaptable in order to find effective solutions

to the problems they encounter. While AI can automate certain tasks and make them more efficient, it may not be able to generate new ideas or identify innovative solutions. * Leadership and

team management skills: Project managers are responsible for leading and motivating teams to achieve project goals. AI lacks the ability to inspire and motivate humans in the same way that

human leaders can. * Contextual awareness: Project managers need to be aware of the broader context of the project, including political, economic, and social factors. AI lacks the ability to

understand complex contextual factors, which makes it difficult to make decisions that consider the bigger picture. * Ethics and Values: Digital Inclusion Project Managers are responsible

for ensuring that their projects are aligned with ethical and social values, such as inclusivity, equity, and privacy. While AI can assist with certain tasks, it may not be able to make

ethical judgments or account for the social and cultural implications of the technology being deployed. Moreover, digital inclusion projects often involve complex social and political

factors that cannot be fully understood and addressed by AI algorithms alone. Digital Inclusion Project Managers must work with stakeholders from diverse backgrounds, navigate different

policy environments, and adapt to changing circumstances, all of which require a high degree of human judgment and expertise. In short, while AI may be able to assist with some tasks related

to digital inclusion projects, it is unlikely to fully replace the role of a Digital Inclusion Project Manager. Instead, AI may serve as a tool to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency

of the role, allowing Digital Inclusion Project Managers to focus on higher-level tasks and strategic planning. BACK TO ME — MY FINAL THOUGHTS I use A LOT of automation tools such as

Microsoft Automate, Zapier, CalendarHero, and more. However, they are there to increase efficiencies and scale my work. Creativity, originality, quality, and that human touch in a role I

have, I just can’t imagine being replaced…. yet! If you enjoyed reading this, check out my other related stories below. I would love to read your thoughts in the comments. THIS IS HOW I
