A Note From Malcolm

We’re roughly 18 months into the ChatGPT era. So where is AI eating enterprise tech jobs? It’s starting to happen, at scale, with QA and front-end developers. And who’s safe right now? Sales.

We have thousands of members on our TalentAgent platform, from developers to designers, consultants, data engineers, QA engineers, security, sales and marketing. In tracking all individual AI exposure indices – based on all skills, tools, and job listings in the industry - a very clear picture has emerged.  But things are evolving quickly, as we’ve seen a lot of change in just the past 90 days. Exciting times

With that lens, here are some highlights from the past week at the intersection of enterprise AI and work:
