Here's what CEOs are telling their employees about how to use AI — and how not to lose their jobs to it
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said "efficiency gains" from AI would mean fewer workers at the company. AI's impact on jobs has been hotly debated as it completes or accelerates certain tasks. CEOs have previously given advice on how to survive the AI revolution. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has told employees that "efficiency gains" from AI would reduce the company's "total corporate workforce" in the next few years. Jassy may be the most prominent CEO to say AI is coming for people's jobs, but he's far from the first. This is the advice CEOs have been giving about how to use AI — and avoid losing your job as a tech revolution threatens to reinvent the world of work. Micha Kaufman, CEO of Fiverr, one of the world's largest freelance marketplaces, warned in an email to his team that: "AI is coming for your jobs. Heck, it's coming for my job too. This is a wake-up call." Whether you are a programmer, designer, product manager, data scientist, or lawyer, "Al is coming for you," he wrote in the email, which he shared on X. "You must understand that what was once considered 'easy tasks' will no longer exist; what was considered 'hard tasks' will be the new easy, and what was considered 'impossible tasks' will be the new hard," he said. Kaufman continued: "If you do not become an exceptional talent at what you do, a master, you will face the need for a career change in a matter of months." "I am not talking about your job at Fiverr," he added. "I am talking about your ability to stay in your profession in the industry." "Every job will be affected, and immediately. It is unquestionable. You're not going to lose your job to an AI, but you're going to lose your job to someone who uses AI," chipmaker Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang said at the Milken Institute's Global Conference in May. "What used to be human-coded softwares running on CPUs are now machine learning generated softwares running on GPUs," Huang said at The Hill and Valley Forum in April. But he added that "every single layer, the tooling of it, the compilers of it, the methodology of it, the way you collect data, curate data, use AI to guard rails, use AI to teach, use AI to keep the AI safe, all of that technology is being invented right now and it creates tons of jobs." "I don't know exactly what's going to happen with AI, but I do know it's going to fundamentally change the way we work, and we have to get ahead of it," Duolingo CEO Luis von Ahn said on LinkedIn earlier this year. He was responding to a backlash against previous comments about enthusiastically embracing AI. "AI is creating uncertainty for all of us, and we can respond to this with fear or curiosity," the language app's CEO wrote. "I've always encouraged our team to embrace new technology (that's why we originally built for mobile instead of desktop), and we are taking that same approach with AI." He added: "To be clear: I do not see AI as replacing what our employees do (we are in fact continuing to hire at the same speed as before). I see it as a tool to accelerate what we do, at the same or better level of quality. And the sooner we learn how to use it, and use it responsibly, the better off we will be in the long run." Lowe's CEO Marvin Ellison said his advice was to "stay as close to the cash register as you can." "When young people come to me and they desire to work in the corporate office, my advice to them is: stay as close to the cash register as you can," Ellison said at a Business Roundtable forum in DC this month. "Stay close to the customers, because you will always have employment opportunities to grow," he added. He also said, "AI isn't going to fix a hole in your roof." "It's not going to respond to an electrical issue in your home. It's not going to stop your water heater from leaking," he said. "You are generation AI," LinkedIn CEO Reid Hoffman said in a video in which he answered questions from college students on how they should navigate the job hunt. "You are AI native, so bringing the fact that you have AI in your tool set is one of the things that makes you enormously attractive," he added. Hoffman said that AI's impact on jobs was a "legitimate worry," but he added that students could try to use it to their advantage. "Look, on this side, it's transforming the workspace, entry-level work, employers' confusion," he said. "But on this side, it's making you able to show your unique capabilities." "In an environment with a bunch of older people, you might be able to help them out," he added. Lattice boss Sarah Franklin told Business Insider that corporate leaders should be focused on how AI can help with efficiency. The HR software company CEO said this includes using AI to give employees "superpowers to where they feel like they're stepping into the Iron Man suit" and accomplishing what they need to in their jobs without feeling swamped. She said that might include using AI to give each employee at a company an executive assistant or a coach. Read the original article on Business Insider

Amazon's Zoox Opens Robotaxi Production Site in California
(Bloomberg) -- Inc.'s Zoox autonomous driving unit opened a robotaxi production facility in California in the latest move by a deep-pocketed tech company to expand the nascent industry. Security Concerns Hit Some of the World's 'Most Livable Cities' JFK AirTrain Cuts Fares 50% This Summer to Lure Riders Off Roads How E-Scooters Conquered (Most of) Europe Taser-Maker Axon Triggers a NIMBY Backlash in its Hometown The site in the San Francisco Bay area city of Hayward will be able to churn out 10,000 purpose-built robotaxis a year once it reaches full scale, Zoox said in a statement on Wednesday. The company expects the plant will create hundreds of jobs in the region as it grows. 'The reality is we are just ready,' Zoox Chief Executive Officer Aicha Evans said in an interview on Bloomberg Tech on Wednesday. The strategy is to start 'putting the capacity in place and then turning it on little by little as we go city by city' with commercial launches, she said. Zoox is one of several companies vying to secure a foothold in the market for autonomous ridehailing. Competitors include Alphabet Inc.'s Waymo unit and Tesla Inc., which plans to begin offering rides in Austin with no driver behind the wheel as early as Sunday. The Amazon-owned company's purpose-built robotaxi is akin to a shuttle and has no steering wheel or pedals, with four inward-facing seats. Zoox would need an exemption from US auto safety rules that require vehicles to have driver controls, though the Trump administration has said it's working on changes to provide those approvals faster. Zoox is 'very grateful' to the administration's work in preparing the US for robotaxis and talks with regulatory bodies are 'going well', Evans said. Zoox is testing or operating robotaxis on a limited basis in San Fransisco and Las Vegas, where it plans to launch its service. Waymo, which uses vehicles made by other automakers that it rigs with self-driving software and sensors, is seen as the market leader and charges fares for rides in multiple US markets. To start, Zoox has a dozen of its robotaxis driving on the Las Vegas Strip, Evans said. The commercial service will launch later in the year and pricing will be competitive with traditional ride-hailing services.

The TCL QM8K is out, so the QM6K is 19% off and the QM7K is 33% off
For those who are on the hunt for TV deals to upgrade their home theater setup, we highly recommend going for TCL. It's made a name as one of the best TV brands with the value that its products provide, and the flagship TCL QM8K, which we gave a score of 4.5 stars out of 5 stars in our review, is an excellent example of this. However, we'd like to highlight the discounts from Amazon on two other models in the same line: the 65-inch TCL QM6K at 19% off, for a $148 discount that brings it down to $650, and the 65-inch TCL QM7K at 33% off, for a $502 discount that brings it down to $998. The savings that you can get for the 65-inch TCL QM6K and the 65-inch TCL QM7K aren't going to last forever though. There's no telling how much time is remaining on these savings, or when the stocks that are up for sale will run out. If you're interested in buying either one of these QD-Mini LED TVs, we highly recommend proceeding with your purchase as soon as you can. TCL 65-inch QM6K QD-Mini LED 4K TV — $650 $798 19% off We described the TCL QM6K as 'the TV most people should buy' in our review, and that's even more true right now as you can get it at 19% off for a $148 discount. TCL's QD-Mini LED technology enables amazing black levels and lifelike colors, with its LD500 Precise Dimming technology for up to 500 precisely controlled dimming zones. The TV also offers 4K Ultra HD resolution for intense sharpness, up to a 288Hz refresh rate for gaming, and Onkyo Audio and Dolby Atmos for cinematic sound. TCL 65-inch QM7K QD-Mini LED 4K TV — $998 $1,500 33% off The TCL QM7K is even closer to the quality of the TCL QM6K, and it's available with a larger discount compared to the TCL QM6K — 33% off, for savings of $502. The TCL QM7K is among the recipients of our Top Tech of CES 2025 Awards, and that's partly because of its LD2500 Precise Dimming technology for up to 2,500 precisely controlled dimming zones, as well as the integration of Bang & Olufsen Audio. Everything that made the TCL QM6K a great TV is elevated further in the TCL QM7K, making it our recommended choice for a TV in this budget range.
