Job Security in the AI Era: Are we going to lose jobs?
Hey there!
Welcome back to our newsletter, where we dive into the big questions about technology and work. Remember when we talked about Sora AI last time? We mentioned how it’s not here to take over jobs but to help. Well, this topic’s hotter than ever, and not everyone’s convinced that’s how things will play out.

So, Are Jobs Really Safe?
Lately, some of the most famous folks around the globe have been weighing in, and uess what? They’re a bit worried. It’s not just about Sora AI; it’s about the whole tech scene. Robots, AI, machines – they’re all getting smarter and more capable. It’s amazing but also a bit scary, right?
What’s Everyone Saying? Are we really going to lose jobs?
It’s a fair question, especially when you hear stories about robots making cars, AI writing articles, or computers that can talk almost like humans. It feels like we’re in a race with machines, and they’re catching up!

Hollywood Pauses for AI: Tyler Perry’s Big Decision
Hollywood mogul Tyler Perry is hitting the pause button on an $800 million expansion of his Atlanta studio. Why? The reason is as futuristic as it gets.
Perry was left astonished by OpenAI’s recent showcase of Sora, a cutting-edge AI that crafts videos from text prompts. Announced before the release of Perry’s Netflix film “Mea Culpa,” Sora’s debut has stirred the entertainment industry.
This AI marvel can generate minute-long videos that are not only high in quality but also faithfully stick to the user’s instructions. Perry, who had ambitious plans to enlarge his studio space, is now rethinking the need for physical sets and location shoots.
The potential of AI to revolutionize filmmaking has Perry and others in awe, contemplating a new era where creativity is boundless but grounded in digital innovation.
Nvidia’s Bold Prediction: Coding’s Demise
In a bold proclamation at the World Government Summit in Dubai, Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, said that a future where coding as we know it could become the new trend.
Huang’s vision is powered by the recent crazy developments in AI, particularly in natural language processing and generative AI, which he believes will transform the tech landscape.
According to Huang, the future is one where anyone can program in the most universal language: human. This shift suggests a radical change in education and skill development, urging young professionals to explore fields like farming, biology, and education over traditional coding.
Despite this, Huang acknowledges that coding isn’t entirely out the window but will evolve, focusing on when and how to best utilize AI, marking a transition towards a more intuitive interaction with technology.
Should You Be Worried About Losing Your Job?
As technology gets better, some people worry they might lose their jobs. But it’s not about jobs disappearing; it’s about jobs changing. Let’s talk about two stories. First, the Nvidia news tells us that even though AI is doing more of the work, we still need people to make sure the AI does its job right. It’s like the AI needs a boss, and that boss could be you if you learn how to work with it.
Then, there’s the story about Tyler Perry’s movie studio. He’s thinking about using AI to help make movies, but he’ll still need smart engineers to help the AI. This means jobs aren’t going away; they’re just becoming different. Instead of being scared of AI, we should learn how to use it to do cool new things.
How to Keep Your Job Safe?
The best way to keep your job safe is to learn how to work with AI. Think of AI as a helper, not something that’s trying to take your job. If you learn how to use AI, you can make your job easier and do things that weren’t possible before.
We made a guide about becoming a “prompt engineer.” This is a fancy way of saying someone who is really good at working with AI. This guide can teach you what you need to know to work with AI and keep your job safe. By learning about AI, you can make sure you’re ready for the future and all the cool things it’s going to bring.
Wondering what it is?
What is Prompt Engineering?
We will give a small surprise here. Let’s quickly recap the blog, shall we?
Prompt engineering is a cool job in the world of artificial intelligence (AI) that doesn’t require you to be a coding expert. Imagine getting paid more than $335,000 a year just to talk to AI like ChatGPT in the right way. That’s what prompt engineers do. They figure out the best way to ask AI questions or give it information so that it gives back useful and accurate answers.
Here’s a simple breakdown of what this job involves:
Understanding AI and Machine Learning: You need to know a bit about how AI like ChatGPT works. This doesn’t mean you need to be a computer scientist, but you should get how these AI models learn and think.
Being Good with Words: Since you’ll be writing prompts or questions for the AI, it helps if you’re good at playing with words and can write clearly.
Thinking on Your Feet: Sometimes, you have to try different ways of asking questions to get the best answer from AI. This means being good at thinking of new ideas and solving problems.
Technical Writing: Yes, you’ll need to write well because you’re basically telling the AI what to do through your prompts.
Staying Up-to-Date: AI changes fast. For example, Google’s Gemini AI got an update only a week after a new version came out. So, you have to keep learning about the latest AI stuff.
In short, being a prompt engineer is about knowing a little about AI, being creative with words, solving problems, and always learning. It’s a job that lets you work with the latest AI without needing to code everything yourself.
Looking Forward: A World of Opportunities
As we wrap up our talk about AI and jobs, here’s something exciting to think about: the future is full of new chances for all of us. Sure, AI is changing how we work, but this doesn’t mean we’re out of the game. It means we’ve got new ways to play and win.
Think about it like this: When a new tool comes out, it doesn’t take away jobs; it just changes how we do things. AI is like the ultimate new tool. It can do a lot, but it still needs us – people with ideas, who can think differently and solve problems in ways a machine can’t.
For example, look at the stories about Nvidia and Tyler Perry. They show us that even as AI gets better, there’s still a big need for people to guide it, make creative choices, and even fix problems when things don’t go as planned. It’s not about losing jobs; it’s about changing them to fit into this new world.
So, what can you do? Start by getting curious about AI. Learn a bit about how it works and think about how you can use it in your job. You don’t have to become a tech expert overnight. Just start seeing AI as a helper, not a competitor.
And remember our chat about prompt engineering? That’s a perfect example of a cool new job that AI has created. It’s about guiding AI to do amazing things, and you don’t even need to be a coding genius to do it. It’s about being creative, solving problems, and always learning.
As we move forward, let’s not be afraid of AI. Instead, let’s learn how to work with it and find our place in this new world. There are so many opportunities out there waiting for us. Let’s be ready to grab them and make the most of what’s coming.
Here’s to a future where we all find new ways to shine, with AI by our side. Let’s make it a great one!
