Andrew Ng helped give the AI industry its vocabulary, from “AI is the new electricity” to “agentic AI.” His new company bets against the phrase everyone else is using: that AI will take your job. “Conventional wisdom holds that AI will replace people, and I believe in the opposite,” Ng told Reuters. AI will make workers more productive and create fresh demand for skills, he argues, rather than a “job apocalypse.” Some studies question whether AI is driving job cuts at all, and adoption often spreads wide without going deep.
