en.Wedoany.com Reported - Microsoft President Brad Smith recently addressed US graduates' concerns about artificial intelligence replacing human jobs in a blog post, emphasizing that the job market will persist in the AI era.

In recent months, speakers at graduation ceremonies at multiple US universities have been booed by students for discussing AI topics, including former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, a record company CEO, and a real estate executive. Instead of delivering a speech directly at a graduation ceremony, Smith expressed his views in a blog post titled "AI, Jobs, and the Next Generation."

In the blog post, Smith wrote that the job market will not disappear with the advent of AI, "just as painting still exists after the invention of photography." He also stated that while the uncertainty of employment prospects is unsettling, this generation of graduates can adapt to change because technology has become second nature to them. The post also mentioned a book co-authored by his colleagues Ryan Roslansky and Aneesh Raman on how to enhance workplace competitiveness in the AI era.

Smith believes the corporate world will undergo profound changes, including "the AI automation of entry-level job tasks, especially in the tech sector," while "companies face pressure to reduce headcount to help pay for the massive capital expenditures of AI." These changes have been evident over the past six months, with Oracle, Meta, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) conducting large-scale layoffs. Data shows that the tech industry cut over 38,000 jobs last month alone. Amid graduates' concerns about the future, Smith did not signal that Microsoft would adjust its AI plans.
