I'm seeing different views on this. Some say AI will eliminate entry-level roles and deskill workers, while others argue it will actually create new jobs and make humans more productive.
Is AI a net job destroyer, a job creator, or something in between that depends on how companies use it?

**Submission Statement:**
As AI becomes embedded in decision-making, hiring, and everyday workflows, some leaders argue it will augment human work rather than replace it. Others believe it could eliminate entire career paths, especially entry-level and routine roles, before new ones emerge.
**Looking ahead:**
* Will AI lead to a world with fewer traditional jobs but more meaningful work?
* How should societies prepare if AI accelerates both productivity *and* inequality?
* Could skills-based hiring and human-AI collaboration redefine what a “job” even is in the future economy?
The article includes an interview with the CHRO of a company (IBM) which has been driving enterprise adoption of AI for a while.
Curious how you all think this will play out in the near future (next 5 to 10 years).
The interview is here:

The only reason companies want to deploy AI is because they think they can get rid of expensive human workers and make more money.
Companies exist to make money; that is all. Anything that helps with that, they will pursue.
