MIT published a study on how AI is affecting white-collar jobs. Now I run an AI company and I post hiring stories and post almost every single day looking for the best people on both creatives and technical side. And I think people are looking at this AI job panic in a very black and white way. Everyone is acting like AI has already destroyed the white-collar job market. But the MIT article says that there is still very little evidence that AI has an impact on the overall job market. In fact, the graph shows that there are no signs that employment rates are lower for occupations with relatively high AI exposures. So if your job involves coding, writing, research or strategy, AI exposure does not automatically mean that your jobs are disappearing tomorrow. The article also talks about the low firefire, low-higher labour market, which basically means that the companies are not firing aggressively, but are also not hiring aggressively. Especially roles where juniors were earlier doing the first draft, the basic research, the simple code, the admin work, the reports and the repetitive execution. And this is exactly what I see when I am hiring. Someone who is technical, creative, understands business and knows how to use AI properly becomes a much better bet for any company. And if you're young, your goal should not just be like get a job before AI takes it. Your goal should be learning every tool, skill, learn the domain, learn how to think and become the kind of person a company can trust you with AI in the loop. Because the future is not human versus AI, it is average executors versus the people who know how to use AI with judgement.
