What an AI executive tells her kids about the jobs of the future

/

I tell my kids, play around, try things out. People need to know how to use an AI model, but not necessarily build it. Metacognitive skills will be very important—flexibility, adaptability, experimentation, thinking critically, being able to challenge things. Developing critical-thinking skills requires friction, doing things that are hard, doing deep thinking. For that, a traditional liberal-arts education is really important. Passing judgment, being accountable and responsible for decisions that impact people and society, that’s foundationally important. -Daniela Amodei, President and co-founder, Anthropic quoted in the Wall Street Journal

10 New Jobs that may Emerge from AI

/

AI assessors – Someone in this role will evaluate models, keeping track of how they’ve improved, what they are best at doing, and how much they are hallucinating.

AI auditors – Someone who dig down into the A.I. to understand what it is doing and why and can then document it for technical, explanatory or liability purposes.  

AI consistency coordinator – This job is about ensuring digital replicas remains  consistent as changes are made.

AI consultants – This job involves helping businesses adopt and implement AI by offering a strategic roadmap, technical expertise, and project leadership. The AI consultant must facilitate communication between a company’s departments to marry technical knowledge with business needs.  After deployment of AI, it is their job to help set up ways to monitor the outcomes. Besides possessing a robust AI education, the AI consultant will have to stay on top of trends and changes in the industry.

AI engineers – Unlike traditional IT roles, people in this position will fix the AI when it breaks, digging through the layers to determine what went awry, why it went wrong and how to repair it. Like a plumber, they’ll snake the pipes to clear out the system and figure out how to avoid the problem next time. This will be particularly important when it comes to models that have been highly customized to the organization.

AI ethicist – This role will involve building chains of defensible logic that can be used to support decisions made by AI (or by hybrid A.I.-and-human teams) to address both ethical and legal concerns.

AI integrators – These are experts who figure out how to best use AI in a company, then implement it. These jobs will be technical in nature, requiring a deep understanding AI while possession a knowledge of the company so that that AI can meet real business needs.

AI personality director – This person fine-tune the “personality” of the AI so that its style of interacting with employees and customers fits with the organization’s ethos. This can become an integral part of a company’s branding.

AI trainer – This is the job of helping the AI find and digest the best, most useful data and then teach the AI to respond in accurate and helpful ways.

AI translator (trust director) – People who understand AI well enough to explain its mechanics to others in the business, particularly to leaders and managers, so that they can make effective decisions. These workers will not only explain what the AI output means (especially when it is technical) but how trustworthy the information and conclusions are. This role may fall under that of compliance officer, helping organizations understand contracts and report written by AI.

How AI is Changing Entry Level Jobs

/

Rather than have rookie employees compile reports or write memos — things the A.I. is good at — you might have them start, say, creating new ideas for products right away. Traditionally, this kind of work would be reserved for deeply experienced workers, but it won’t need to stay that way. By empowering young, inexperienced workers, A.I. can enable them to be more entrepreneurial, faster. And this means that a greater range of the organization — with a wider range of perspectives — can be hunting for new great ideas or new areas for growth rather than busying themselves with repetitive office tasks. -New York Times 

Getting hired in the age of AI

/

If you can say you worked a job where you had to show resiliency and adaptability, those are things that employers are looking for. We are individuals with unique experiences, unique energy and unique resilience. That's what we're going to get hired for. – Aneesh Raman, chief economic opportunity officer at LinkedIn https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20250825-aneesh-raman-young-people-employment-opportunities-katty-kay-interview

AI's impact on the job search by college grads

/

"Recent history grads have a lower unemployment rate (4.6 percent) than recent computer science grads (6.1 percent), according to the New York Federal Reserve Bank. History is one of the most popular college majors among congressional staff members, and historians find work in some surprising places, such as the National Security Agency and the American Girl doll company." -Washington Post

How will AI affect my job?

/

The answer to the question, “How will AI affect my job?” might be better stated: “Does AI look like it is going to do the most highly skilled parts of my job or the low-skill parts?” If it’s the former, your pay and business value will fall. If it’s the latter where AI can do the mundane parts of your job for you, then you might get paid more (and it might get more fun). 

What Would You Do?

/

You have applied for a job and the interviewer asks you a question that lands like a bombshell: do you have a boyfriend? Then another: do people find you desirable? And a third: do you think it is important for women to wear bras to work? If you are a woman you probably know what you would do. Perhaps you would refuse to answer, complain or walk out. You would certainly be furious.

This is how 197 female American undergraduates, asked to imagine such an interview, said they would react. But they—and probably you—were wrong. The psychologists who asked them, Marianne LaFrance and Julie Woodzicka, orchestrated a real-life version of this ordeal, by advertising for a research assistant and arranging for male accomplices to interview the first 50 women who applied. 

Half were randomly chosen to be asked those three questions. Not one refused to answer, let alone complained or walked out. When they were asked afterwards (and offered the chance to apply for a real job), they said they had felt not anger, but fear.

Videos of the interviews showed how much this supposedly minor sexual harassment threw the women off their stride. They plastered on fake smiles.

In a final twist, the researchers showed clips of the videos to male MBA students. Fake smiles are fairly easy to tell from real ones: they involve fewer facial muscles and do not crinkle the corners of the eyes. But many of the men saw the women as amused, even flirtatious.
