""It will destroy humanities jobs," Karp said when asked how AI will affect jobs in conversation with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink at the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland."
""You went to an elite school and you studied philosophy - I'll use myself as an example - hopefully you have some other skill, that one is going to be hard to market.""
"Karp told Fink that he remembered thinking about his own career, "I'm not sure who's going to give me my first job.""
""If you are the kind of person that would've gone to Yale, classically high IQ, and you have generalized knowledge but it's not specific, you're effed," Karp said in an interview with Axios in November."
AI automation is expected to take over much coding and research work, increasing the premium on critical thinking, creativity, and distinctive skill sets. Some voices predict higher value for unusual or creative talents in future hiring. Other voices warn that AI will destroy humanities jobs and that generalized, non-specialized graduates will struggle to market themselves. Elite liberal arts graduates express concern about initial job prospects. Some companies continue to recruit non-technical majors, while others are shifting to prioritize specialized, marketable skills that better complement AI-driven workflows.
