New jobs created by the rise of Humans + AI decision-making

When I was working on my Levels of AI delegation in decision-making framework it became clear that many new roles and functions are required for effective AI participation in decision-making. We need Humans + AI systems, where new human roles are required for them to function well.

I have compiled 32 new jobs created in a world of extensive Humans + AI decision-making. The companies who hire these people and put them to good use will lead the next phase of business.

👩🤖Humans + AI update

The opportunities in GenAI for software engineers and others

Influential software developer Shawn “swyx” Wang shares where he sees the human potential of GenAI, including Humans + AI curation, communicating across specialist domains, and adding context.

GenAI’s Hidden Opportunities for Use Cases (and Engineers)

Freelancers and open talent will be augmented by AI

“The fear that AI will replace freelance jobs is rooted in a misunderstanding of AI's role in the future of work. Instead of displacing human workers, AI is poised to become a powerful tool that, when combined with human ingenuity, can lead to greater efficiencies, innovation, and job satisfaction.”

Will AI Replace Freelance Jobs? The Rise Of Complementarity In Human-AI Collaboration

How to achieve complementary performance in Humans + AI

"Collaboration between humans and AI should lead to complementary team performance (CTP)—a level of performance that neither of them can attain individually."

Complementarity in Human-AI Collaboration: Concept, Sources, and Evidence

Ramanujan Machine to augment mathematicians in number theory

"On a philosophical level, our work explores the interplay between algorithms and mathematicians,. Our new paper indeed shows that algorithms can provide the necessary data to inspire creative insights, leading to discoveries of new formulas and new connections between mathematical constants."

How AI will shape the future of creative agencies

All professional services are being transformed by generative AI, but the impact is especially pointed for creative agencies. Agencies need to reconfigure themselves for a substantially different future.

I’ve distilling some of my recent thinking from client work in the space into this simple framework. I will be refining the high-level framework as well digging deeper into several aspects of this including workflow. I’d love any thoughts or feedback.
