Everyone’s Wrong About AI and Jobs, ft LinkedIn’s Aneesh Raman | Office Hours

The gist

1. Mid-career professionals earning $300k or more are more at risk from AI than recent graduates, who are cheaper and more adaptable.
2. Software engineering roles are actually growing despite AI, because the job involves far more than writing code, similar to how ATMs led to more bank tellers.
3. Leaders should mandate a minimum AI proficiency by a set date and visibly promote and pay those who use it to get more done.
4. Raman says focusing on adaptability, curiosity, compassion, courage, and communication matters more now than chasing purely technical skills.
