The company is not cutting from a position of weakness. Block posted gross profit of $10.36 billion in fiscal year 2025, up 17% year over year, and is raising its 2026 gross profit guidance to $12.20 billion. In Q4 2025 alone, gross profit grew 24%, the company said in its earnings call. “Intelligence tools have changed what it means to build and run a company,” Dorsey wrote in the latter. “A significantly smaller team, using the tools we’re building, can do more and do it better. And intelligence tool capabilities are compounding faster every week.” He added a prediction that will be hard for enterprise leaders to ignore: “Within the next year, I believe the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion and make similar structural changes. I’d rather get there honestly and on our own terms than be forced into it reactively.” ### Block is Not the First — and It Won't Be the Last Block is not alone. Earlier this week, [WiseTech Global](https://www.computerworld.com/article/4137200/australias-wisetech-to-cut-2000-jobs-as-ai-renders-manual-coding-obsolete.html), the Australian logistics software company behind the CargoWise platform, cut around 2,000 roles, citing comparable AI efficiency gains. Like Block, WiseTech was profitable at the time. Companies, including Amazon, Microsoft, Workday, and Salesforce, have all cited AI in recent workforce reductions. Similarly, Data analysis vendor [C3 AI on Thursday slashed its workforce](https://www.cio.com/article/4138095/c3-ai-slashes-26-of-its-workforce-ceo-attributes-the-move-in-part-to-ai-efficiency.html) by 26%, citing agentic efficiencies as a critical factor. The scale of disruption ahead is significant. A [Forrester forecast published in January](https://www.forrester.com/blogs/ai-and-automation-will-take-6-of-us-jobs-by-2030/) predicts AI and automation will eliminate 6.1% of US jobs by 2030, equivalent to 10.4 million positions. To put that in context, the US lost 8.7 million jobs during the Great Recession. Unlike recession-driven losses, Forrester notes, AI-driven displacement is structural and permanent. Notably, genAI now accounts for 50% of projected US job losses to automation, up from 29% in Forrester’s earlier forecast, as agentic AI solutions compound the effect. But Forrester adds a pointed caveat. Nine out of ten times, the firm said, when a CEO announces workforce reductions citing AI, the company does not yet have a mature, vetted AI application ready to fill those roles. ### Restructuring from Strength, Not Distress The context of Block’s cuts is what makes them significant, said Sanchit Vir Gogia, chief analyst at Greyhound Research. “This is not about trimming fat. It is about redefining muscle,” he said. “When a financially healthy company decides to remove nearly half its workforce and openly attributes that to AI capability, it is not reacting. It is repositioning.” Gogia drew a clear distinction from previous restructuring cycles. “In previous cycles, layoffs followed weakness. This time the order is reversed. Cutting during strength signals belief — it says leadership is convinced that waiting would be riskier than moving early.” On Dorsey’s prediction that most companies will follow within a year, however, Gogia threw caution. “The structural shift is real. The one-year synchronised wave is not,” he said. Regulatory intensity, labour frameworks, legacy integration complexity, and governance maturity will slow adoption in heavily regulated sectors such as financial services, healthcare, and public infrastructure, he argued. “Predictions of universal twelve-month adoption underestimate institutional friction.” ### Speed Without Architecture is a Risk, Not a Strategy For IT leaders, the implications run deeper than headcount. Gogia warned that speed without architectural discipline creates risk. “Aggressive compression without escalation redesign creates brittle systems that only reveal weakness during stress.” He added that workforce planning can no longer operate at the level of job titles. “Planning must move to task clusters, identifying which cognitive workflows are substitution-feasible and which remain human-critical because escalation authority or regulatory accountability demand it.” Dorsey described Block’s destination as becoming a “smaller, faster, intelligence-native company.” Gogia’s framing offers a useful corrective for enterprise leaders processing that signal: the organisations that navigate this transition well, he said, “will not be those that cut fastest. They will be those who redesign deliberately.”]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>layoffs</category> <category>automation</category> <category>workforce</category> <category>techtrends</category> <enclosure url="https://www.computerworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/4138423-0-02348800-1772192781-KI-bedroht-Jobs-von-Frauen-starker-als-von-Mannern.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=1024" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[AI Won't Let You Retire Early: Morgan Stanley Reveals Why You'll Need to Train for Jobs That Don't Exist Yet]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/ai-wont-let-you-retire-early-morgan-stanley-reveals-why-youll-need-to-train-for-jobs-that-dont-exist-yet</link> <guid>ai-wont-let-you-retire-early-morgan-stanley-reveals-why-youll-need-to-train-for-jobs-that-dont-exist-yet</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 26 Feb 2026 13:15:14 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Tech titans and stock market investors are increasingly unified in their forecast that artificial intelligence will permanently eliminate millions of white-collar jobs and render traditional employment obsolete. Software and services stocks have taken a beating, with software multiples pulling back by roughly 33% since late 2025 as investors fret over AI’s potential to automate vast swaths of knowledge work. Earlier this year, Elon Musk predicted that AI and humanoid robots will make work completely “optional” within the next 10 to 20 years, ushering in a post-scarcity economy where money itself becomes irrelevant. He joins a growing chorus of tech executives issuing stark warnings about human obsolescence; OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently cautioned that superintelligence could soon outperform even top corporate executives, while Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei have projected that sweeping white-collar automation could arrive in one to five years. Economists remain skeptical of the timeline, noting that the apocalyptic narrative may be as much a tool to justify astronomical tech valuations as it is an impending economic reality. But a new, cross-asset research report from Morgan Stanley offers a remarkably grounding message for anxious employees and jittery markets: most of you won’t be permanently unemployed; you are just going to find new jobs, many or most of which don’t exist yet. Addressing the widespread concern that AI will “replace millions of jobs and increase unemployment by an equivalent amount,” a large team of Morgan Stanley analysts pointed directly to history. Over the past 150 years, sweeping technological shifts—from electrification and the tractor to the computer and the internet—have fundamentally altered the labor force, but they “did not replace labor”. When the spreadsheet was popularized in the 1980s, for example, it automated tedious financial modeling and reduced the need for certain bookkeeping clerks. However, it simultaneously freed up analysts’ time to do more complex work and birthed entirely new financial professions. Similarly, the firm argues, AI will merely change “job types, occupations, and needed skills”. “While some roles may be automated, others will see enhancement through AI augmentation and other, entirely new roles will be created,” the report said. Rather than a mass extinction event for the white-collar worker, in short, the bank sees the corporate landscape is simply preparing for an evolution. ## The Jobs to Come? So, what will these new jobs look like? Morgan Stanley outlines several emerging professions that it predicts will soon become corporate staples. As AI becomes central to business strategy, companies are expected to hire executive-level **Chief AI Officers** to guide technology adoption across departments. There will also be a massive surge in **AI governance roles** focused on data compliance, policy oversight, and information security, particularly in sensitive sectors like healthcare. The tech sector could see the rise of blended roles, such as the **product manager-engineer hybrid**. Empowered by natural language coding tools, product managers will increasingly engage in “vibe coding”—prototyping and iterating concepts themselves before handing them off to engineers for deployment. Highly specialized roles could also emerge across various industries. In the consumer sector, **AI personalization strategists** and **AI supply chain analysts** will blend data science with customer experience. In industrials, we will see **predictive maintenance engineers** and **smart grid analysts**, while healthcare will demand **computational geneticists** and specialists dedicated to AI diagnostic oversight. For financial markets, the current panic over AI disruption appears premature, if not entirely misplaced, in the bank’s view. Morgan Stanley notes that the services and cyclical industries that have recently seen outsized underperformance due to disruption fears make up only about 13% of the S&P 500’s market cap. Fortune previously reported on a similar finding from other Wall Street economists: the market appears to be talking itself into a panic that the fundamentals don’t justify, a trend likely exacerbated by the increasing number of retail investors in the equities market. Apollo Global Management Chief Economist Torsten Slok warned on Wednesday that the “entire market [is] exposed to a big move,” reasoning that the share of S&P 500 names moving more than 10% in a single day has increased, while options activity remains “extremely elevated, consistent with heavy retail speculation and leverage-like exposure.” This leaves the market structure “more fragile and more vulnerable to an abrupt, outsized move.” ## But What If This Time Is Different? The Morgan Stanley report offers welcome reassurance — but it may be telling a comforting story that doesn’t fit the technological and economic realities of 2026. While it’s true that past waves of automation created as many jobs as they destroyed, AI may represent a qualitatively different shift, targeting cognitive, creative, and decision-making tasks once thought immune to automation. In a new paper released the same day, two Nobel-winning economists (Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson) and another, massively influential one (David Autor, known for his work on “the China Shock”) argued that this time really could be different. In “Building pro-worker artificial intelligence,” published by The Hamilton Project, they warned that “pure automation technologies” do the opposite of collaborating with workers: “they commodify human expertise, rendering it less valuable and potentially superfluous.” The specific stock of specialized, human expertise could become “obsolete” with wide deployment of such technology. While the Morgan Stanley thesis reflects historical optimism, history’s lessons may not apply cleanly in a situation with a shift from tools that amplify labor to systems that replace cognition. As warned in the speculative essay by Citrini Research, AI could produce productivity gains that decouple corporate profits from employment even more than in the computing era. If firms can scale output with largely automated workforces, they would have little incentive to rehire at historic rates. Morgan Stanley cites evidence that corporate America is already reaping tangible rewards from AI adoption. By the fourth quarter of 2025, 30% of companies identified as AI “adopters” reported quantifiable financial or productivity benefits from the technology, up from just 16% a year prior. As a result, forward profit margin expectations are actively accelerating for companies successfully utilizing AI. How those margins continue to increase, and how many new jobs those companies create as a result, will bear out whether Morgan Stanley’s prediction is right.  For this story, Fortune journalists used generative AI as a research tool. An editor verified the accuracy of the information before publishing.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>futureofwork</category> <category>morganstanley</category> <category>jobmarket</category> <category>automation</category> <enclosure url="https://fortune.com/img-assets/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/GettyImages-1307905796.jpg?resize=1200,600" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Mississippi's Bold Move: Protecting Taxpayer-Funded Jobs with Secret Union Ballots]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/mississippis-bold-move-protecting-taxpayer-funded-jobs-with-secret-union-ballots</link> <guid>mississippis-bold-move-protecting-taxpayer-funded-jobs-with-secret-union-ballots</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 25 Feb 2026 20:15:14 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## Mississippi's Economic Boom and Unionization Debate Mississippi is experiencing an unprecedented economic transformation, with **record-breaking investments** in technology-driven projects. Governor Tate Reeves announced over **$100 million in taxpayer-funded incentives** for projects that have created thousands of jobs, including: - **$20 billion xAI Data Center** in Southaven - **$10 billion Amazon Web Services** project in Madison County - **$10 billion Compass Data Center** in Lauderdale County These represent the **three largest capital investment projects** in Mississippi's 200-year history, marking a strategic shift toward a **technology-driven economy** while maintaining strength in traditional industries like manufacturing, aerospace, and energy. ## The Southern Unionization Challenge As high-tech jobs move south, labor unions have followed, seeking to replace dues lost in traditional union strongholds like Detroit. However, the **U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics** reports that union membership in the South stands at just **4.5%**—more than 8 percentage points below the national average. Mississippi, as a **right-to-work state**, faces particular challenges including: - A culture resistant to collective bargaining - Political leaders often hostile to unions - Declining union density in neighboring states Despite this, Mississippi has thrived in automotive manufacturing, producing over **half a million vehicles annually** according to the Mississippi Development Authority. ## Protecting Taxpayer Investments **State Senator Josh Harkins**, chair of the Senate Finance Committee, has introduced **Senate Bill 2202** to protect taxpayer investments in economic development projects. The legislation ensures that **Mississippi workers are entitled to private, secret-ballot elections** for any unionization votes at companies accepting state incentives. Harkins explains: "The bill does not prohibit employees from organizing. It does not outlaw unions. It does not interfere with an employee's right to choose union representation if a majority wants it. It simply sets an expectation that the decision is made in a way that protects worker privacy." ## Key Provisions of the Legislation The bill addresses several critical areas: - **Secret-ballot elections** for union activities related to taxpayer-funded incentives - **Neutrality agreements** that restrict information during unionization efforts - **Performance and compliance standards** tied to public incentive packages - **Limited scope** affecting only future incentive agreements and organizing efforts Harkins emphasizes that existing collective bargaining agreements, currently unionized workplaces, and subcontractors remain unaffected. ## Regional Context and Precedents Mississippi joins other Southern states in implementing protections for taxpayer investments: - **Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama** have enacted similar legislation - Organized labor has criticized these measures, citing federal labor relations laws - The legislation follows Mississippi's practice of attaching **performance standards** to incentive packages, including job creation thresholds and wage benchmarks ## Why This Matters for Tech Workers For professionals in the **IT and technology sectors**, this legislation represents: - **Protection of privacy** in workplace decisions - **Accountability** for companies receiving public funds - **Level playing field** in unionization efforts - **Preservation of Mississippi's competitive advantage** in attracting tech investments As Harkins notes: "These guardrails protect the integrity of the state's return on investment and give policymakers and taxpayers a clear way to evaluate risk and accountability."]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>unionization</category> <category>techinvestment</category> <category>datacenters</category> <category>workplacepolicy</category> <category>mississippi</category> <enclosure url="https://magnoliatribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Salter_Sid_20180725_3BW1022ss51-e1636463369730.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[AI Takes Over: How WiseTech's Massive Layoffs Signal the End of Manual Coding]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/ai-takes-over-how-wisetechs-massive-layoffs-signal-the-end-of-manual-coding</link> <guid>ai-takes-over-how-wisetechs-massive-layoffs-signal-the-end-of-manual-coding</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 25 Feb 2026 13:15:16 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Australian logistics software giant WiseTech Global has announced plans to cut approximately **2,000 jobs**, representing half of its workforce, as it integrates artificial intelligence across its operations. The layoffs will impact product development and customer service teams, including those at its US subsidiary, e2open, and are scheduled to begin in the second half of FY26, extending into FY27. **CEO Zubin Appoo** made a bold declaration: "The era of manually writing code as the core act of engineering is over." He emphasized that AI enhances productivity by leveraging WiseTech's expertise in logistics, rich datasets, and network advantages built over 30 years. The company, known for its CargoWise supply chain management platform used by over 22,000 companies globally, will not redeploy affected employees. However, **Sanchit Vir Gogia**, chief analyst at Greyhound Research, cautions that this move is more about strategic positioning than pure engineering efficiency. "AI becomes the justification layer for a cost structure reset," he noted, highlighting a shift from AI as augmentation to AI as a workforce strategy. ### Vendors Restructuring Alongside Their Customers WiseTech is part of a broader trend. In 2025, AI was cited as the primary driver for nearly 55,000 US layoffs. Companies like Salesforce and Microsoft have also reduced workforces, with Microsoft reporting that AI tools now write up to 30% of its code. This wave of AI-related reductions is now affecting software vendors that enterprises rely on. ### A New Risk for Enterprise Customers For CIOs using CargoWise, the layoffs raise concerns about continuity, especially since 11 of WiseTech's largest customers have less than 20% of expected users live on the platform. Gogia warns that the highest risk period is six to eighteen months post-layoffs, when experienced engineers depart and AI systems are still maturing. He advises CIOs to seek **named human accountability** and contractual SLAs that guarantee timely human escalation. WiseTech has also shifted its commercial model, moving 95% of CargoWise customers to a transaction-based pricing model (CargoWise Value Packs) away from per-seat licensing. Appoo explained, "For SaaS businesses that monetise on seats or users, AI will disrupt them." This transition aims to align pricing with value delivered through automation but introduces cost volatility for buyers due to seasonal volume spikes and other factors. Gogia concludes, "This is not a WiseTech-specific phenomenon. It is a structural SaaS rebase triggered by AI economics."]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>layoffs</category> <category>software</category> <category>automation</category> <category>saas</category> <enclosure url="https://www.computerworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/4137200-0-60158700-1772019860-shutterstock_2320153383.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=1024" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Win a $500K Prize and a Job at Anduril in This Epic Autonomous Drone Racing Competition!]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/win-a-500k-prize-and-a-job-at-anduril-in-this-epic-autonomous-drone-racing-competition</link> <guid>win-a-500k-prize-and-a-job-at-anduril-in-this-epic-autonomous-drone-racing-competition</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 24 Feb 2026 13:15:22 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## Anduril’s AI Grand Prix: A Revolutionary Skills-Based Hiring Challenge Getting noticed by hiring managers has become increasingly difficult in today's tech landscape. With **automated resume filters** and **AI-driven screening processes**, many talented engineers struggle to stand out. But **Anduril**, a cutting-edge defense-tech company, is flipping the script with its groundbreaking **AI Grand Prix** – a global autonomous drone racing competition that offers both a **$500,000 prize pool** and a direct path to employment. ### What Is Anduril’s AI Grand Prix? Anduril’s AI Grand Prix invites engineers from around the world to develop **autonomous drone-flying software** capable of navigating virtual and physical courses without human intervention. The winner not only secures a share of the substantial prize money but also earns a chance to **bypass traditional recruiting hurdles** and interview directly for a role at Anduril. > “This is an open challenge,” says Anduril founder Palmer Luckey. “If you think you can build an autonomy stack that can out-fly the world’s best, show us.” ### First, What Is Anduril? Founded in 2017 by Palmer Luckey (inventor of the Oculus VR headset) and former defense and Silicon Valley executives, **Anduril** is a technology company focused on military and national security solutions. It develops advanced hardware like surveillance towers, underwater vehicles, eVTOL aircraft, and autonomous drones, all powered by its **Lattice platform** – a system that uses **machine learning** and sensors to track threats and coordinate responses in real time. ### How Does Anduril’s AI Grand Prix Work? The competition is structured in multiple phases: - **Virtual Phase (April–June):** Teams submit their software to race through custom-built simulated courses. - **Training & Qualification (September):** Top teams advance to southern California for a two-week round, testing their algorithms on autonomous drones built by **Neros Technologies**. - **Championship Event (November):** Finalists compete in Columbus, Ohio, near Anduril’s new **Arsenal-1** manufacturing facility. Anduril plans to make this an annual event, expanding globally to Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. #### Who Can Compete? The contest is open to individuals and teams of up to eight people, with **no professional credentials required**. All ages are welcome, though parental consent is needed for participants under 18. Key restrictions include: - Russian citizens are prohibited. - Winners must be able to obtain a U.S. security clearance. - Foreign contestants are eligible only if Anduril has an open role in their country. #### What Does the Winner Get? The top ten teams split the **$500,000 prize pool**. The highest-scoring participant (or a team member) receives a **direct job interview** at Anduril. Those ineligible for employment get **$10,000** instead. ### An Alternative to Conventional Recruiting Anduril’s AI Grand Prix reflects a broader shift toward **skills-based hiring** in tech, where **technical proficiency** trumps traditional credentials like university degrees. Companies like Meta, Google, Stripe, and Walmart have used similar competitions to identify top talent, emphasizing **performance over pedigree**. > “When I hire people at Anduril, I look for people who have done projects outside of what their work or school required,” Luckey explains. “That drive to learn and create is what matters most.” This approach not only promotes **meritocracy** but also taps into the **curiosity and ambition** of engineers, potentially uncovering hidden talent overlooked by conventional methods.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>anduril</category> <category>ai</category> <category>droneracing</category> <category>skillsbasedhiring</category> <category>techjobs</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.builtin.com/cdn-cgi/image/f=auto,fit=cover,w=1200,h=635,q=80/sites/www.builtin.com/files/2026-02/anduril-ai-grand-prix.png" length="0" type="image/png"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Bay Area Tech Job Losses Ease: Is a Recovery on the Horizon?]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/bay-area-tech-job-losses-ease-is-a-recovery-on-the-horizon</link> <guid>bay-area-tech-job-losses-ease-is-a-recovery-on-the-horizon</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 23 Feb 2026 13:15:22 GMT</pubDate> <description>< ### Challenges and Opportunities Ahead Steve Levy, director of the Center for Continuing Study of the California Economy, outlined three things necessary for a turnaround: 1. **Step up housing production** that is affordable to new workers 2. **Translate data center and AI innovation into new jobs** 3. **Implement more welcoming immigration policies** for both highly skilled and service workers ### External Factors: Tariffs and AI The U.S. Supreme Court's decision limiting presidential authority to impose emergency tariffs could benefit the Bay Area tech industry by removing impediments like global supply chain issues and cost impacts. However, uncertainty remains as the administration plans to invoke alternative legal authorities for tariffs. **Artificial intelligence** poses both a challenge and opportunity. While it may lead to a boom in technologies, it won't automatically translate into a jump in job creation. Hancock noted: "Tech urgently needs people with **rarefied skills** in machine learning and big data, but they don't need armies of them." Despite this, AI could eventually fuel a job boom as the industry adapts. Anderson said: "Rapid investment growth in new AI models and capabilities is leading to new Bay Area hiring gains in some emerging technology roles. This bodes well for a more stable Bay Area labor market in 2026 after years of technology company headwinds."]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>techjobs</category> <category>bayarea</category> <category>layoffs</category> <category>recovery</category> <category>ai</category> <enclosure url="https://www.mercurynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/SJM-L-NVIDIA-1.jpg?w=1024&h=599" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[AI Job Panic Debunked: Why Tech Giants Are Hiring More Humans Than Ever]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/ai-job-panic-debunked-why-tech-giants-are-hiring-more-humans-than-ever</link> <guid>ai-job-panic-debunked-why-tech-giants-are-hiring-more-humans-than-ever</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 23 Feb 2026 20:15:17 GMT</pubDate> <description>< Anthropic CEO **Dario Amodei** is among the loudest voices warning that AI could **erase many white-collar jobs**. He's been especially outspoken about **coding**, given Anthropic's **Claude Code is so powerful**. A successful editor once told me to focus on what people and companies do, not what they say. So let's look at the jobs Anthropic is trying to fill right now. **Top of the list: software engineering roles.** The AI company with the most effective coding-automation machine on earth is looking to hire more than 100 coding experts. This job posting stood out to me. Anthropic is **hiring an iOS developer** to build mobile apps. I thought you could just **vibe-code** apps these days? Apparently not. **Boris Cherny**, the creator of Claude Code, was asked about this recently. If this AI tool is writing most or all of Anthropic's code these days, why is the company still hiring so many software developers? "Someone has to prompt the Claudes, talk to customers, coordinate with other teams, decide what to build next," Cherny replied on X. "Engineering is changing and great engineers are more important than ever." Let that sink in. **Software development is probably the job that is most disrupted by AI.** Models have gotten good at coding because it's relatively easy to evaluate good versus bad outputs. That's because the code either works, or it doesn't, when deployed. This creates clear yes/no signals that are really valuable for training and fine-tuning new AI models. So if Anthropic is still hiring more than 100 software engineers, then other types of jobs that are less impacted by AI should probably endure as well. Proving my point, Anthropic has 32 finance jobs open, along with 33 in marketing, 16 in legal, and more than 100 in sales. I'm not just telling you this to make you feel better. When **extreme AI job predictions** are made, it leads to dumb ideas such as **banning data center construction**. So, take a breath. **AI is just a (powerful) tool to help humans get more work done.** I'll leave you with final thoughts on this topic from Jensen Huang (who, by the way, is hiring humans like crazy). In a recent interview, he argued that fears of mass job destruction often confuse the "tasks" involved in a job with the broader "purpose" of the role. AI, in his view, changes how tasks get done, but the purpose remains the same. And that means, the technology probably won't destroy jobs and could even increase demand for the people responsible for outcomes at work.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>jobs</category> <category>software</category> <category>careers</category> <category>automation</category> <enclosure url="https://i.insider.com/699cac4c2237a6a8f0cdad50?width=1200&format=jpeg" length="0" type="image//699cac4c2237a6a8f0cdad50"/> </item> </channel> </rss>
