Andrew Curran argues that post-AGI employment may be devastated, but one area of demand could grow: human experts who can verify whether amateur-plus-AI teams have made real breakthroughs. He says math already shows why this might happen—humans may not know the field well enough to judge the result, and they also may not trust AI to validate it alone.
