Levie argues the feared “AI destroys jobs” narrative still isn’t showing up in enterprise hiring.

Across industries, companies are still hiring, but shifting toward roles that help them do more with AI.
He says enterprises are hiring engineers to tackle previously unreachable problems, sales teams to deepen client relationships, and internal FDEs to deploy AI.
His broader claim: firms that use AI only to cut costs will eventually lose to those using it to serve customers better and unlock new breakthroughs.
He adds that this trend could change later, but says this is the current trajectory.
