Billionaire investor Jeremy Grantham, known for his critical evaluations of financial bubbles, advocated that workers develop practical skills such as engineering, agriculture, and physical activities difficult to automate to face a market increasingly pressured by artificial intelligence. In an interview on the podcast *The Diary of a CEO*, Grantham stated that artificial intelligence could become a bubble ready to burst, with impacts not limited to investors but also affecting roles, companies, and the organization of society. He advised his children to learn something useful and applicable in the physical world, recommending engineering or another practical area, and noted that one of his children has been dedicated to cultivating crops on a small farm and learning to handle chickens, pigs, and mushrooms. The speech occurs amid predictions about AI advancement, studies pointing out roles more vulnerable to job loss, and warnings that accelerated AI adoption could reduce the entry point for new professionals in career paths that could form future leadership.
