VC Investor Argues Firms Should Hire More Young People in the AI Era

Investor Kris Gulati floats a counterintuitive, admittedly half-formed take: companies may want to hire more young people in the AI era. He points to an apparent age gap in AI adoption and proficiency, which translates into a bigger productivity boost for younger workers.
The take was retweeted by @akpiper. It is a personal observation on how AI reshapes hiring and workforce structure, with no supporting data yet.
