Happy Father's Day!
Inspired by a thoughtful post by my Palo Alto Networks' leader Anand Oswal on LinkedIn, I am reminded that Father's Day is not just about fathers, but about all the people who play a pivotal role in the lives of fathers and whom fathers profoundly care for.
I recall a heartwarming moment last year when my mother and I were strolling in Palo Alto. She was thrilled to find an apple next to Steve Jobs' old house, a moment that symbolized how generations find joy differently; her joy in a simple apple mirrored my admiration for Apple's technology.
Now, with AI ushering in a transformative wave, as a father, my thoughts are on the future that lies ahead for the next generations. This AI-driven revolution is both thrilling and daunting, altering societal landscapes, and bringing forth a kaleidoscope of opportunities and challenges.
The immediate concerns, however, lie in the unsettling transition. We’re witnessing a paradigm shift in job markets and grappling with an archaic education system that’s not aligned with the forthcoming realities. It’s crucial we prepare our children for this enigmatic future.
Generative AI based ChatGPT gives away the following strategies to fathers and mothers out there:
Encourage Adaptability: Emphasize the significance of adaptability and continual learning as the quintessence of thriving in a changing world.
Cultivate Critical Thinking: Arm them with critical thinking and problem-solving skills, to navigate challenges resourcefully.

Wishing a Happy Father’s Day to all who are tirelessly shaping the future through their loved ones!
