Billionaires on AI: Jobs, Jobs, Jobs or the End of Work?

Everyone has an opinion on how AI will impact jobs. But what do the billionaires have to say about it?They talked about it a lot last week in Davos. That's the World Economic Forum's annual meeting, where the world's most rich and powerful get together to remind each other how rich and powerful they are.Host Pete Newsome pulled clips from Jensen Huang (NVIDIA), Alex Karp (Palantir), Dario Amodei (Anthropic), the head of the IMF, and others. Here's what he found:Jensen Huang, whose company makes the chips powering the entire AI revolution, was asked point-blank about job displacement. His answer? "Jobs, jobs, jobs." That's it. The guy in the best position to tell us exactly where the displacement is going to happen... doesn't acknowledge job displacement when asked about job displacement.Alex Karp from Palantir was more direct. AI will "destroy humanities jobs." But don't worry, he offered some hope: "If you can get a job, you might keep it." Although not so much for middle managers. He called them "the fat in the middle."The head of the IMF said 60% of jobs in advanced economies will be "enhanced, eliminated, or transformed" by AI. That kind of specificity is comforting, isn't it?And Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic? "We actually need less and not more people."This is potentially the biggest issue all of us will face in our lifetimes. And if you can't already tell, Pete is very concerned about where it's heading.📽️ WATCH ON YOUTUBE:https://www.youtube.com/@TheAIWorker👋 FOLLOW PETE ON LINKEDIN:https://www.linkedin.com/in/petenewsome/
