Colorintech

Last Friday, I attended Colorintech's Navigating the AI Era 2026, and it didn't disappoint. A few things that landed: 🧠 Critical thinking is the new premium skill. AI delivers confident answers, but sometimes they are wrong. Human judgment isn't less valuable in the AI era; it's more valuable. 💼 The job market is shifting, not collapsing. Policy, implementation, and change management are still very much in demand. The barrier to validating ideas as a founder has never been lower. ⚡ Start small. Specific use case over grand solution, every time. Build something that shows real-time and cost savings, then grow from there. As someone building with AI, this hit differently. The tools are only as good as the thinking behind them. Grateful to Colorintech, Keyur Gudka, Dion McKenzie and Sneha Bedi for creating spaces where these conversations happen with people who look like us. #Colorintech #AIera #WomenInTech #CareerDevelopment #ArtificialIntelligence #FutureOfWork #BlackInTech

🚀 AI is reshaping tech careers faster than we expected. The roles, skills, and even the way we work are evolving daily. So how do we stay ahead instead of playing catch-up? That’s exactly what was discussed today at Colorintech ‘s “Navigating your Career in the World of AI” Just wrapped up a really valuable networking breakfast around practical ways to navigate the changing job market. Key takeaway: AI isn’t just changing tools — it’s changing the skills, roles, and mindsets we need to succeed. The people who stay curious, keep learning, and build strong networks will thrive in this new era. Huge thanks to the Colorintech ‘s team for creating such an accessible and insightful space. #FutureOfWork #AI #TechCareers #Colorintech #DiversityInTech

Last week we hosted a panel discussion around Navigating the AI Era in 2026 and here’s what we learnt: 💡The pilot stage is over and in 2026 it’s about operationalising AI and embedding it into our day-to-day. 🧠 Human skills matter more than ever like critical thinking, judgment, problem-solving and networking. 🧩 Strategic misalignment is the key thing slowing organisations down because there's no consistent framework for how and where people should be using AI. 🔄 Just saying you are 'AI literate' because you use ChatGPT isn't enough anymore and the key skill is going from prompt to build. A huge thank you to our speakers Keyur Gudka Sneha Bedi and Dion McKenzie for the amazing insights, Sophia Metcalfe for all your help and everyone who joined us- the questions and discussions in the room were incredible!
