"Mark Cuban expects legions of workers will be needed to implement AI at companies, creating a huge opportunity for tech-savvy young people. The tech billionaire and former "Shark Tank" investor made the prediction during an August interview with TBPN, a tech talk show and podcast. AI guru Rohan Paul shared a clip of Cuban's comments over the weekend, which was widely reposted; Cuban himself shared three responses from other AI gurus on his X feed."
"Cuban told TBPN that when he was 24, he would walk into companies and executives would point to their secretaries and receptionists and say they didn't need a PC. Cuban recognized that as an opportunity to sell old-school bosses on the benefits of computers and teach them how to use them. He said it's a similar situation with the latest tech wave, which some believe will render millions of human workers obsolete and trigger mass unemployment."
Implementing AI across companies will require many workers, creating a generational job opportunity for tech-savvy young people. Students should learn various AI tools and prioritize skills for implementing those tools inside companies. Social amplification on platforms spread clips and prompted commentary comparing the shift to previous technology waves. Observers compare the change to the IT services boom of the 2000s, when PCs, cloud, and mobile spawned a large local services layer. Analysts note parallels to Salesforce creating millions of administrative and integration roles and predict a move from generic software to customized intelligence.
