Most professionals are worried that AI will replace them. Smart professionals are building the one asset AI can't touch: a personal brand that makes them un-ignorable. In this episode of the AI Career Survival Guide, ex-IBM Futurist Nat Schooler reveals how HR leaders are using AI to judge who gets hired and who gets laid off – and why your personal brand is the only career safety net that travels with you whether you're employed or running a business.
From Fortune 500 HR departments to serious entrepreneurs, one thing is clear: if decision-makers can't find you, understand your value, or repeat what you do in 10 seconds, you don't exist in their budget. This isn’t about vanity metrics or social media fluff – it’s about job security in the AI economy and building a portable asset that survives every layoff, restructure, and market shift.
