The A.I. Job Apocalypse Is Overblown...A CEO's Take
Send us Fan Mail
The loudest story about AI right now is fear: automation will wipe out jobs, crush careers, and leave workers powerless. I’m not buying the doom-only framing, and neither is David Solomon, the chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs. In a provocative New York Times piece, he argues the “AI job apocalypse” is overblown and that the real impact looks more like work redesign than workforce elimination. I break down what he’s actually saying and why it matters if you’re trying to build a durable career in the digital economy.
We dig into the heart of his claim: AI isn’t coming for your job title, it’s coming for the tasks inside your job. That distinction changes everything. Using economic history from the Industrial Revolution to the rise of computing and the internet era, we talk through how new technology tends to automate specific activities while creating new kinds of work and new demand for human judgment. Then we get practical with what Solomon says he’s seeing inside Goldman Sachs: AI and machine learning taking on repetitive, rules-based work while people shift toward higher-value responsibilities like decision making, relationship building, creative problem solving, and strategy.
We also tackle the uncomfortable part: the biggest risk isn’t AI itself, it’s skill stagnation. If you’re not learning the tools and the new workflows, you’re leaving your future up to chance. For leaders, the mandate is just as real: invest in upskilling, redesign roles around augmentation, and communicate transparently so teams can adapt. If you want a clear-eyed take on AI, jobs, productivity, and the future of work, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review.
