Withthe rapid advancement of AI, many people are concerned about their job security. Microsoft’s latest Work Trend Report claims AI is creating jobs, contrary to the popular opinion that it’s claiming jobs.
However, executives have blatantly expressed theirreservations about recruiting potential employees without an AI aptitude. Consequently, there’s been “a 142x increase in LinkedIn members adding AI skills like Copilot and ChatGPT to their profiles.”
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has interesting sentiments and contributions about this specific topic. First, the CEO indicatedcoding might be dead in the water as a career option with the prevalence of AI. He added that the next generation is better off exploring alternative career options in biology, education, manufacturing, or farming as coding will be renderedobsoletesoon.
Huang predicts we’re on the verge ofthe next wave of AI with self-driving cars and humanoid robots at the frontline. He describes current AI models and systems as “one-shot.” For context, this is when you prompt or ask a chatbot to do something, and it generates a text-based response.
Interestingly, Huang envisions a future with more capable AI models. “AI will be multi-shot,” he added.
In the future, AI will be multi-shot. It will be a reasoning-based systems, just as we plan through various complicated scenarios, it will do some planning itself. And so you’re gonna have fast-thinking AIs like we currently have. You’re gonna have multi-step reasoning AIs, that will be coming along. These types of AIs will increasingly become agentic.
What are agentic AIs?
As NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang briefly describes the futurist phenomenon, ‘agentic AIs’ will use tools and work with other AIs with privileged access to information. Huang foresees a future where AI will be like employees in a company.
He adds that these AI systems will work with other systems from other companies, serving as specialists, consulting agents, and generalist AIs.

As expected, AI continues to claim more jobs. In a separate report,54% of banking jobs could be automated, rendering professionals in the affected fields redundant. But we’re slowly learning AI isn’t perfect either.

OpenAI CTO Mira Murati recentlydiscussed the effects of AI on the job market. Murati admitted the technology is claiming jobs and automating redundant and repetitive tasks. “Some creative jobs maybe will go away. But maybe they shouldn’t have been there in the first place — you know, if the content that comes out of it is not very high quality,” added Murati.
