Never Stop Wondering: Why Curiosity Is the Missing Skill in AI Upskilling

Asking questions is how we learn, yet many of us stop doing it far too early. For Daniel, founder of Galagog and former Amazon employee, that moment came in a Year 8 chemistry lesson, and it has shaped his thinking ever since. Having supported thousands of people to use technology, data and AI more confidently in their work, he sees the same hesitation everywhere: capable people holding back, waiting for permission, convinced they are "not technical". In this thoughtful piece, Daniel makes the case for curiosity as an essential skill in an AI-driven world, and explains why educators and employers have a shared role in giving people the confidence to experiment, question and grow.
