At the same time, startups and executives are increasingly arguing that AI will create a new type of employee:
Someone who manages AI systems instead of doing every task directly themselves.

ClickUp is one of the clearest examples so far. The company says it is measuring employee productivity gains from AI internally and plans to productize some of those workflows for customers later.

But the transition is creating a growing divide:
• Workers who can leverage AI effectively may become dramatically more valuable
• Workers whose tasks become fully automated may face shrinking opportunities

The debate is no longer about whether AI will reshape jobs.
It’s increasingly about how fast companies are willing to redesign entire organizations around AI-driven productivity.
