Why AI Won't Kill Jobs - Marketing School

What this episode covers

Neil and Eric break down why the AI job apocalypse narrative is wrong, using fresh data on software engineering demand, AI-powered productivity, product manager hiring trends, and the rise of “AI-pill” talent. They discuss how AI is increasing output instead of replacing workers, why companies still need top engineers and marketers, and how AI is reshaping business efficiency, hiring, and organizational structure. They also debate bloated corporations, eBay’s spending problem, and why technology historically creates more opportunity than destruction.
