Reskilling Will Not Save Us

Artificial intelligence is rapidly automating professional tasks, with companies like Microsoft and Salesforce already replacing human workers with AI agents. This shift will lead to a faster, broader, and stranger labour crisis than anticipated. The familiar narrative of retraining blue-collar workers is being rewritten. Companies are already seeing significant cost savings from automation, with Salesforce reducing support costs by 17%. Engineers should prepare for a future where AI is not just a tool, but a primary driver of change.
