Dirk Spencer - "AI & The Changing Job Market"
Oct 14, 2025 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM
"AI & The Changing Job Market"
AI is going to create so much work... everyone becomes a programmer of sorts the way we all do math in Excel... some more than others. BA's are going to be in the perfect position to step into AI with a mission.
Some questions we proposed to Dirk when he was planning this presentation:
How might BAs who are mid or late in their careers (or even consultants) use AI to help them in job or contract searches.
Can AI be used to help people accelerate their knowledge enough to discuss AI related topics in job interviews?
Can BAs use AI to help them review and update their resumes so that HR in hiring companies will sit up and pay attention?
Confidence goes a long way in job interviews. Can AI be used to increase a BAs sense of their own agency?
Some of the things Dirk will discuss include:
Use cases.
Quality checks.
Hallucinations.
Developing good habits.

Key Point:
AI is the first tech that can teach you how to use it, you want to leverage use-cases relevant to your current BA mission.
