In an industry where rapid technological advancements are the norm, it’s easy to assume that hard skills, like programming, data analysis, and machine learning, are the primary drivers of success. However, insights from a recent survey by Skiilify and InsightJam, “AI Won’t Replace You—But Lack of Soft Skills Might,” highlights a critical gap that could thwart the careers of even the most technically skilled professionals: the absence of durable soft skills.
