AI is coming!Financial content editors are panicking: I'm going to lose my job?Can changing careers to be a content product manager save me?

With the advent of AI, all walks of life have been impacted, and it is undoubtedly a "big earthquake" for financial content editors, who began to think: will it be saved to change careers to become content product managers?

In this era of information explosion, the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology is changing with each passing day, especially the emergence of AIGC (AI-Generated Content) technology, which has made all walks of life feel an unprecedented impact. For financial content editors, this is undoubtedly a "big earthquake", and they are beginning to worry: will AI replace my job? Am I going to lose my job? and whether changing careers to become a content product manager can be a "lifesaver" for them

"What?

1. The "invasion" of AI: the "nightmare" of financial content editors?

Imagine you're a financial content editor who's racking your brain every day to write an engaging story. However, suddenly one day, you find that AI has been able to automatically generate high-quality financial content, including news reports, data analysis, research reports, and more. This is tantamount to a "nightmare" for you. Do you start to worry about whether the professional knowledge and skills you have worked so hard to acquire will become worthless?

Such fears are not unfounded. With the development of AI technology, machine learning algorithms have been able to process massive amounts of data and extract valuable information from it. For example, through natural language processing, AI can automatically write news stories and make personalized recommendations based on the user's interests and preferences. In addition, AI can also perform data analysis and prediction to help investors make more informed decisions.

However, we should also note that the development of AI technology does not mean that financial content editors will lose their jobs. In fact, the development of AI technology has brought more opportunities and challenges to financial content editing. AI technology can help editors work more efficiently, giving them more time and energy to conduct in-depth reporting and analysis. Of course, the development of AI technology also requires editors to continuously learn and improve their skills to adapt to the new technological environment. Only those editors who can complement and advance together with AI technology will be invincible in the future competition.

2. The "temptation" of changing careers: the "spring" of content product managers?

Under the impact of AI technology, a new career opportunity has emerged - content product manager. This role requires a combination of technology and content to provide users with a better reading experience and more valuable information. For financial content editors with rich experience and expertise in content production, switching careers to become a content product manager may seem like a "tempting" option.

First of all, the salary level of content product managers is generally high, and the career development prospects are broad. According to relevant data, the average annual salary of a content product manager is between 200,000 and 500,000, and some senior content product managers can even get an annual salary of one million. Second, it is not difficult for financial content editors to transform into content product managers. They only need to learn some product management skills, such as requirements analysis, project management, user experience design, etc., to complete the transformation smoothly.

However, we should also see that the transformation to a content product manager is not just as simple as learning some new skills, but more importantly, practitioners need to stand on the AI mindset to reshape the logic and method of content production. In the past, financial content editors paid more attention to content production skills, such as topic selection and planning, writing skills, etc. And now, as content product managers, they need to pay more attention to the needs and experience of their users. They need to understand the needs and pain points of users through data analysis and user research, and design products and services that meet user needs.

3. The "innovation" of skills: the leap from objective "craft" to "art" that pays more attention to the individual

For example, in traditional financial reporting, editors are more concerned with how to interpret complex economic data and policies in an easy-to-understand manner. Now, as content product managers, they need to think about how to use AI technology to provide users with a more personalized and intelligent reading experience. For example, by analyzing users' historical reading habits and interests, we can recommend content that they are more interested in, or by using interactive tools such as chatbots to provide users with easier ways to obtain information.

In addition, content product managers need to have the ability to analyze data and conduct user research. They need to analyze large amounts of user data to understand the changes in user behavior and needs, and optimize products and services accordingly. At the same time, they also need to have a certain degree of market sensitivity and business acumen, be able to perceive changes in market trends and user needs, and adjust product strategies and directions in a timely manner.

4. "Prospects" of the future: a "symphony" of human-machine collaboration

Although the development of AI has had a huge impact on financial content editors, the author believes that in the future, human-machine collaboration will become the mainstream. AI will be used as an auxiliary tool to help humans do their jobs better. Financial content editors can use the power of AI to improve their work efficiency and quality, and provide users with more valuable information.

For example, in the process of news production, editors can use AI technology to assist in writing, intelligent proofreading, etc., so as to improve the efficiency and quality of news production. At the same time, editors can also use AI technology to analyze user behavior and monitor public opinion, so as to better understand user needs and market dynamics. In addition, AI can help editors personalize recommendations and distribute content, thereby improving the reading experience and satisfaction of users.

In short, in this era of uncertainty, financial content editors are facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities. Whether to stick to their role or switch careers to become a content product manager is a choice that everyone needs to make based on their interests, abilities, and career plans. But no matter what you choose, one thing is certain: only by constantly learning and upgrading your skills can you be invincible in the tide of the times.
