AI AND CAREERS

Brave New World

It seems like we may never again go a week without hearing about AI’s impact on the workforce. One week it’s being blamed for layoffs, and the next it’s creating new economies. While there’s probably a little truth to all of that, we’ve had enough exposure to AI now to develop predictions that are a little less hyperbolic and a little more realistic. A few recent anecdotes:

One sobering comment from a LinkedIn executive — who, presumably, has better access to career-oriented data than anyone — is that entry-level jobs are disappearing quickly due to AI, leaving those early in their careers without the same formative experiences older employees typically had. Not only do recent grads have to contend with AI taking away their jobs, they also (usually) don’t have any career experience to fall back on or bolster their resume.

It’s not just limited to entry-level employees, though. A month ago, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella shared that up to 30% of all code at Microsoft was AI-generated. Companies like Microsoft aren’t likely to discuss layoffs publicly, but comments like these are a bellwether for tech jobs in general.

And even though Klarna and Duolingo’s “AI-first” announcements seem to have backfired, their policies are still indicative of the corporate world we’re heading toward: executives and shareholders will continue to seek to use AI to boost profit margins and strengthen competitive advantages, even if it means reducing headcount.

Is it all doom and gloom? Not at all. There will be massive changes in job requirements, white-collar work, and more. But one executive put it well by saying “even with AI agents taking over workflows, humans will still be essential. AI still needs oversight. AI still needs repair. AI still needs direction.”

And there are three things he said to keep in mind about the new economy: (1) new industries will emerge, (2) humans will train AI-powered agents and tools, and (3) AI maintenance, robotics, and automation oversight will become critical fields.

So, yes — AI is going to drastically change career paths in the years and decades to come. But we are VERY early in those changes, and if you’re able to learn how to use AI for your benefit or your company’s benefit, chances are very good that you’ll find yourself in more demand in short order.

💼 The Remote Source Job Board has 20,000+ open remote and hybrid jobs, all from hand-picked, established companies, and is updated daily. It’s completely free to access all jobs, unlike most major remote job boards.

📞 If you create a free account on our job board, you can select “allow companies to contact me for jobs” — this gives us the ability to contact you if we work with a company that’s hiring and you look like a great match.
