Palantir's billionaire CEO studied philosophy - now he says AI will destroy humanities jobs
"AI "will destroy humanities jobs," Karp said."
""You went to an elite school, and you studied philosophy - hopefully you have some other skill," Karp said, because that skillset is going to be very hard to market."
""they're very valuable, if not irreplaceable, because we can make them into something different than what they were very rapidly.""
""There will be more than enough jobs for the citizens of your nation, especially those with vocational training," Karp told Fink."
Humanities-focused educational backgrounds face reduced labor demand as AI automates tasks that rely on liberal-arts skillsets. Technical, vocational, and technician roles are likely to be in highest demand because those skills are harder to automate or can be repurposed rapidly. Practical examples include manufacturing and battery-building roles, which are described as valuable and difficult to replace. Vocational training is expected to provide abundant job opportunities for citizens. At the same time, some finance executives foresee growing value for liberal-arts skills as AI assumes more hard financial-analysis tasks, potentially shifting demand toward human-centric abilities.
