Andrew Ng on the Real Impact of AI on the Job Market

AI does not directly replace workers, but workers using AI are replacing those who do not.

<p>Many CEOs explain layoffs by saying that "AI is doing the work for people" - but that's not the case yet. Most layoffs are a correction after pandemic overhiring and regular reorganization.</p>

<p>The real picture is more complex. AI does not directly replace workers - but workers using AI are replacing those who do not. This is already evident in development: programmers with AI tools are much more productive. And the trend is expanding to "non-technical" roles - marketers, recruiters, analysts who can code with AI are pushing out those who do not adapt.</p>

<p>The structure of teams is changing as well. A project that used to require 8 engineers and 1 PM can now be done by 2 engineers and 1 PM. Or even one person with skills in both product and development.</p>

<p>The good news is that most companies have a huge backlog of tasks. People with the right AI skills are getting opportunities to do more and build what was previously impossible due to a lack of resources.</p>

<p>Most people - both technical and non-technical - are still at the starting line in mastering AI. So now is a great time to learn and build.</p>
