There are no two ways that technical skills are important in today’s digital age when artificial intelligence, big data and automation are revolutionising each and every industry. But to succeed in the modern workplace, you need soft skills as the nature of work is evolving.  If you are planning to pursue B.Sc. artificial intelligence, here are some soft skills you need to develop to excel in the digital age:

1. Communication skills: As a student pursuing Sc. artificial intelligence, you will gain in-depth knowledge of programming, data analysis and machine learning. However, it is also important to develop good communication skills so that you can effectively communicate technical aspects of work to those from non-technical backgrounds. This includes both oral and written communication.
2. Problem-solving: The 21st century is about new challenges and problems. Gone are the days when you could take a standardised and one-size-fits-all approach in the modern workplace. To thrive in the 21s century workplace, you need out-of-the-box thinking and developing strong problem-solving skills so that you approach challenges with confidence and find innovative solutions. The World Economic Forum recognised problem-solving as among the 10 21st century skills.
3. Collaboration: Working in silos can make you develop tunnel vision and miss the big picture. It is, therefore, important for you to learn how to collaborate and work in a team. To develop collaboration skills and develop team spirit, participate in group projects or join a students’ club where you can work with others towards a common goal.
4. Critical thinking: When you will join the workforce, there will be several occasions where you will have to analyse and evaluate information and examine evidence to make well-informed decisions. This involves questioning assumptions and considering multiple viewpoints to arrive at logical and well-reasoned conclusions. For this, you will need to possess good critical thinking. Critical thinking skills can help you weigh the pros and cons of various solutions – all using logic and reasoning, rather than relying on assumptions.
5. Creativity: While the tech industry is all about robots, machinery and automation, it is the humans that create, imagine, invent and dream. At a time when the modern workplace will be surrounded by newer technologies, possessing the ability to think creatively is an important asset. Being creative will help you think outside the box and find new and innovative solutions. To develop and improve your creative skills , participate in brainstorming sessions with classmates and professors. While it is important to concentrate on your coursework, do take out time for creative activities that are fun.
