As AI systems proliferate, demand for human workers will grow to build, maintain, and quality-check them. Roles like maintainers, optimizers, and strategists will expand over the next decade, requiring massive workforce reskilling. The speaker argues the net effect is positive, not job loss.
More people are going to build stuff, therefore more people are going to be hired to maintain and optimize. Services are here to stay. AI is here to stay. But what is also here to stay is you're always going to need, for the most part, human in the loop to quality check, to optimize, to maintain things. That doesn't change. If people are going to build more stuff, you're going to need more maintainers and optimizers and strategists. We see that more humans— we're going to need to hire more humans to do work, and a lot of people are going to be reskilled over the next you know, call it the next 10+ years or so. So I think it's a net positive, and I think people are still getting used to it. And then the good news is, to Neil's point, expectations have dropped a little bit because this stuff has started to normalize.
