""In that moment I knew that nothing would ever be the same. You feel radicalized in that moment when you see it working.""
""I realized that the only way to help people keep up with the pace of AI was to give them AI tools, because if you use the traditional ways...it's just not fast enough to keep pace with how quickly AI is advancing.""
""If you want to find a job and if you want to keep your job, you need to learn how to get really good at using AI agents.""
Clara Shih emphasizes that every job is now influenced by AI, as seen in her experience at Meta where AI agents surpassed top employees. This realization led her to establish the New Work Foundation to train Gen Z for an AI-driven workplace. The rapid advancement of AI poses a threat to white-collar jobs, prompting Gen Z to reconsider career paths. Shih advocates for learning to effectively use AI tools to secure and maintain employment in this evolving landscape.
