You did everything right. Then AI shifted the job market. Your game plan + your crew, from Clara Shih (aka CC) and other leaders who care.

When a new technology comes along, it’s often young people who are most excited and old people who are most wary. For a time, this was true of AI. That is no longer the case. The Gen Z backlash to AI is one of the most fascinating developments in recent years. This is not a group of people rejecting something they don’t understand. They’re turning on something they know and use often.

Some of the concern is about what AI will do to the environment, but much of it is based on what the technology means for their job prospects. The data is still murky, but those worries are well founded. To get a sense of what young people are against, I sat down with @clarashih. Clara spent two decades in Big Tech before starting @dearcc_official to help young people get hired in the age of AI. We talked through what she’s seeing with the entry-level job market; which jobs are most exposed and which are most resilient; and what parents and universities should do. I was particularly intrigued by some of the interesting distinctions she drew between how one should use AI in different fields, such as computer science and media.

The issues we talked through, of course, don't just apply to young people. Entry-level jobs are disproportionately affected right now, but that’s going to change. Clara outlines a potential future where white-collar work falls into one of three buckets: people who make AI, people who use AI, and people who are managed by AI. The first bucket will command exorbitant salaries. But the second bucket, which includes most knowledge workers, is shrinking, and it might not be too long until many of them are in bucket three, and “shocked that the only jobs available to them are not nearly as desirable as the job that they've had.”

It was a fascinating, occasionally distressing, conversation that ended on a note of optimism. I hope you watch and subscribe.
