""As tasks get automated within a job, your output in that job can go up tremendously, and that will then have a different range of impacts depending on the segment that company is in, or depending on what role that person is in," Levie said. Software engineering has been at the center of the debate on job replacement, as AI coding tools have automated many aspects of the work, and many recent grads are struggling to find jobs."
"Box CEO Aaron Levie has a message for AI skeptics: Automation doesn't mean replacement. The one misconception people are making about AI is that it will take over their jobs, Levie told Business Insider. If AI is a productivity driver, "many companies in the economy will grow faster, causing them to need to hire people to go and then support the growth of those companies," Levie said."
AI will act as a productivity driver that increases company output and often leads to company growth and additional hiring. Automation will make many tasks within jobs faster, enabling paralegals, engineers, and other professionals to raise output dramatically. Increased efficiency may reduce the need for certain roles but rarely eradicates entire job categories. Industries such as sales, law, and healthcare are likely to see rising demand as AI automates tasks. Software engineering will remain central, with engineers able to ship multiple times more code thanks to AI coding tools, though entry-level hiring may face short-term uncertainty.
