AI is gutting workforces-but an ex-Google exec says CEOs are too busy 'celebrating' their efficiency gains to see they're next
Briefly

Mo Gawdat argues that the belief AI will create jobs is misguided. He believes AGI will outperform most humans in all roles, including CEO positions. Gawdat warns that only the best workers may retain their jobs for a short time, while less competent individuals in various sectors will be marginalized. Companies have begun reducing staff to accommodate an AI-driven workforce, highlighting a shift towards automation. He emphasizes that even executives risk being displaced by AI advancements, undermining their current role and productivity gains.
My belief is it is 100% crap. The best at any job will remain. The best software developer, the one that really knows architecture, knows technology, and so on will stay—for a while.
CEOs are celebrating that they can now get rid of people and have productivity gains and cost reductions because AI can do that job. The one thing they don't think of is AI will replace them too.
