AS A.I. AUTOMATES TASKS - SOCIAL SKILLS are rising in importance at work. Got meetings?  They might save your job.

The idea that automation heightens the importance of personal interactions is not an entirely new one.

A 2017 paper by Dr. Deming found that as computers became more powerful, a growing portion of jobs required heavy social interactions, while a shrinking portion required a lot of math know-how but little social interaction - like certain engineering roles.

By automating technical tasks computers were effectively pushing people into jobs that placed a premium on social skills.

Dr. Deming observed that didn't mean emotionally deft people were the most successful by default - the people who fared best tended to continue social skills with substantive knowledge - but it rearranged what employers valued.

A data scientist at a software company said he and his co-workers used to have to write code for every new feature or improvement they wanted to evaluate.

Now they have just come up with the idea and the A.I. writes the code and runs the analysis.

His company's interview process, which was once dominated by questions about coding and rewarded socially awkward nerds, now focuses on whether job candidates can identify good ideas and seem capable of persuading colleagues to back them, he said.

Mark Ozaki, a director at KPMG said the consulting firm had traditionally encouraged younger consultants to specialize either in a subject area like tax laws and regulations or in a technical area like coding.

But A.I. is devaluing that expertise and putting a premium on generalists who take the initiative and excel at cultivating relationships with clients, he said.

Mr. Ozaki who oversees a team developing an A.I. based sustainability platform called Sustainlit.com said his team had sometimes been at the mercy of skilled coders in the past.

But it can now readily use A.I. to do its coding, he said, and he primarily needs people '' who have their phone glued to their head, who are everybody's best friend, who are go-go-go.''

WITH THE HELP OF A.I. - WHITE collar workers can generate far more memos or strategy options than in the past and churn out more product prototypes or software features.

But some executive still have to decide which option to green light. Workers can gin up many more sales pitches, but they still have to persuade clients to sign on the dotted lines.

As A.I. makes the production of knowledge work more and more efficient, the job of presenting, debating, lobbying, arm-twisting, reassuring or just plain selling the work appears to be rising in importance. And the need for those sometimes messy human tasks may limit the number of people A.I. displaces.

'' These were always important skills,'' said David Deming, an economist who is the dean of Harvard College in Massachusetts.

But as the information landscape becomes more saturated, the ability to tell a story out of it - to take a ton of text and turn it into something people want - is more valuable.

Incontinuation, other management consultants also underscored the growing value of social skills.

Consultants at Accenture often use A.I. to help make slides for presentations, a manager there said, but the ones who excel have absorbed the preferences of clients over many hours of meetings.

They know how the target of persuasion likes to consume information. Is he or she a metrics-driven person? Does the client like the case studies to personal anecdotes?

A '' Customer Success '' worker at the Salesforce said she was expected to use chatbots in her job coaching customers to use their sales software effectively and connecting them with technical experts when needed.

Worried that she might be effectively training her A.I. replacement, she has been trying to make herself as '' sticky '' as possible to those customers, she added.

She makes a point of getting to know them beyond texts and email correspondence, shmoozing at site visits and conferences. She goes out of her way to provide emotional support, recently listening to a client who confided that she feared being laid off.
