Graduates who grew up with AI tools are AI-native and can leverage AI to perform tasks formerly split across multiple roles. Employers across industries continue to seek entry-level talent able to create content, design assets, publish across platforms, and analyze results independently, reducing reliance on specialized degrees. AI acts as an accelerant that will evolve hundreds of millions of jobs and increase the need for reskilling. Effective use of AI can multiply individual productivity, enable workers to take on broader responsibilities, and allow younger workers to create greater impact despite concerns about job displacement. Training and familiarity with AI tools provide a competitive advantage for early-career workers entering the labor market.
"A lot of people are kind of hyperbolic at saying that all young people won't have jobs," Lord said. "That's not what we're hearing from our employers," he added. Instead, young workers who grew up with AI tools can now take on the work of entire teams. In fields like social media marketing, for example, one employee can shoot videos, design assets, post across multiple platforms, and run analytics on their own, Lord said. "They don't need a data science degree to be able to do that," he added.
Knowing how to leverage AI is like "having your Iron Man suit on," Lord said. Lord also said that "hundreds of millions of jobs will evolve" and workers will have to reskill, but AI is ultimately an accelerant. "I'm really a believer that this is just like enabling human beings to be even more productive and create more impact," he said.
