Eric Siu argues the top 5% will keep their jobs by staying strategic and creative, using AI agents to automate repetitive work. The rest face replacement. AI augments the best performers, not the middle.
I believe in the next 5 to 10 years, the top 5% of people are always going to have a job. They're very strategic, they're very creative, they're very innovative, right? They're going to have jobs. Now, they're probably going to have AI agents working for them. Like for each client, you might have 5, 10, 15, 20, 100, 1,000 of these agents working and they're doing the work because a lot of the work is repetitive at the end of the day, right? A lot of it can be automated.
