Tony Evans already showed the skill UBS is now hiring for
On Ep10, Are Companies Sleepwalking Into the AI Era?, Tony Evans described catching ChatGPT out that same morning: "I know it's got a figure wrong. I'm asking what percentage of the workforce now is Gen Z, projecting forward to 2030… it gives me the same figure for both, and it's like, well, how can that possibly happen? If I didn't know to read through this and think to myself, that's a pretty simple calculation… I would have given the wrong figure." His conclusion: "AI is a tool, it's not the Bible."
What it actually means
The catch didn't come from knowing the tool. It came from knowing the domain well enough to see that a number couldn't stay flat over five years. That is exactly the criterion UBS has just written into its hiring bar, and it is the part experience gives you for free. Tony's advice to the older half of the workforce on the same episode was to stop competing with AI natives on speed and lean on the skills they already have. Today a global bank put that in writing.
