The NYU Stern professor told Steven Bartlett's Diary of a CEO podcast that storytelling, relationship-building and scientific understanding should outlast shifting industry trends.
He said strong storytellers can analyse data, build narrative arcs and communicate across media, while trust and human connection remain advantages technology cannot easily copy.
Galloway also urged better writing, resilience to rejection and continued competitiveness, arguing earlier pushes into skills such as Mandarin and computer science have not delivered the expected edge.
Can human storytelling remain a key advantage when AI can instantly craft compelling narratives from the same data?
If reliance on AI causes 'cognitive surrender,' how do we use these tools without sacrificing our own critical thinking?
As AI offers flawless simulated empathy, are we trading authentic human connection for a comforting but hollow substitute?
