"The CEO said that a "massive amount" of roles will shrink due to AI advancement. He predicted that roughly 70% of the top 20 most popular jobs in the US today will be affected by AI over the next five to 10 years. Abrahami said he's concerned about computers outsmarting humans, a concept often referred to as artificial general intelligence, which some tech leaders have said we have already surpassed in some ways."
"Abrahami said he doesn't know whether that future is next week or 10 years from now - but he said it's closer than 15 or 20 years from now. However, AI will also create new opportunities and job types, Abrahami said. For example, Wix just introduced a new role called the xEngineer, described as a design-first engineer with deep domain expertise who uses AI as a key part of every workflow."
The employment market faces major disruption from AI, with roughly 70% of the top 20 US jobs expected to be affected within five to ten years. Many roles will shrink while new opportunities and job types will emerge. Computers could surpass humans in broad capabilities (artificial general intelligence), reducing human competitiveness in some tasks. Some occupations, such as ride-share, taxi and truck driving and call-center work, are especially vulnerable. Performing artists appear less likely to be displaced. New specialist positions that pair deep domain expertise with AI, such as design-first 'xEngineer' roles amplified by AI, are already appearing. The timing remains uncertain.
