Try an AI tool on one task you'd normally do by hand: "Automate the deployment of software updates over geographically distributed network nodes".Learn one AI tool well enough to show it in an interview, for: "Design and implement dashboard and data visualizations to meet customer reporting needs".Take on work where you sign off, decide or carry responsibility: that part stays human.Rewrite the top of your CV around judgment, people and decisions, not routine output.
