Forget Python, Java, or C++. The hottest programming language is English, and [AI](https://www.thedigitalspeaker.com/ai-keynote-speaker/) is now taking instructions like an overachieving intern on steroids. But as AI does more, do we actually need expertise anymore, or just a good “vibe”?

AI is reshaping work, but not by replacing expertise, but by shifting it. Ethan Mollick’s experiment with AI “vibecoding” shows that natural language prompts can generate working software, courses, and research papers.

But the catch? Knowing what to ask still matters. His AI-generated firefighting game evolved from a bland prototype to a complex simulation, but only with human feedback. A research paper took an hour instead of weeks, but AI still made mistakes that required expert correction.

- AI enables creation without deep technical skills, but feedback is crucial.
- Experts shift from doing the work to guiding AI effectively.
- The future of work is collaboration, not full automation.

We’re entering an era where expertise isn’t about doing; it’s about directing. So, how do we train people not to work, but to guide?
