Fiverr CEO Micha Kaufman sends company-wide email warning about AI taking jobs, including his own. Urges team to embrace AI as a tool for increased output and quality. Kaufman emphasizes importance of automating repetitive tasks to free up time for uniquely human strengths like judgment and strategy.

LinkedIn’s Aneesh Raman writes about AI replacing entry-level jobs like junior software engineers and paralegals, leading to rising unemployment among college graduates. Raman cites 40% of Gen Z workers willing to accept pay cuts for advancement opportunities. Long-term consequences include earning $22,000 less over a decade after six months of unemployment at age 22.

Kaufman and Raman stress the need for companies to adapt to AI by redesigning entry-level jobs with higher-level tasks that add value beyond AI capabilities. Emphasize the importance of working with AI to make room for uniquely human skills. Both see AI as a permanent presence in the workforce, requiring collaboration and innovation.
