The Rise of the Universal Professional in the Digital Era

Technology experts outline a new professional profile that goes beyond narrow specializations and emphasizes adaptability and multidirectional thinking in the context of artificial intelligence.

According to a large-scale study published by Business Insider on July 1, 2025, AI agent systems are expected to grow by an impressive 327% by 2027. Parallel to technological expansion, around 23% of the workforce will undergo a process of professional restructuring.

Leading technology leaders identify three key competencies for successful professional realization: a multidisciplinary approach, creative idea generation, and in-depth mastery of AI tools.

The generalist model is emerging as preferred, with developers having diversified experience demonstrating higher flexibility and adaptability to the changing digital environment.

Artificial intelligence is viewed as a catalyst for releasing human potential, focusing on deep analysis, innovative thinking, and a strategic approach, instead of routine operations.

Experts like Ravi Kumar from Cognizant and Morgan Brown from Dropbox emphasize the need to build a holistic professional profile that combines interdisciplinary knowledge, technological literacy, and creative potential.

The unequivocal conclusion of technology leaders is that preparation for the AI era requires far more than narrow technical expertise – it demands the development of the ability for broad, innovative, and effective thinking.
