I'm not going to speak specifically about my employer for obvious reasons, but I will say what I'm telling all of my mentees in tech right now.
Losing your job to AI in 2024 doesn't look like what people think it looks like. AI will not replace your job function 100%. AI also will not make us all 20% more productive, allowing 20% of staff to be laid off.
Your employer wants to control costs, but has a big AI bill. They choose between you vs more GPUs+ML folk+infra.
