Artificial intelligence is playing an increasingly important part in business, but where will that leave humans? Our emotional intelligence could become our unique selling point:

Robots and software systems are taking on more sophisticated roles in businesses and being employed to carry out numerous traditionally human tasks.
Increasingly, humans will have to compete against robots and AI for roles.
The human creative skills set will set you apart from machines and become your unique selling point.
