You will not survive AI layoffs if you are one of these: Airbnb CEO's warning

Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky said that the biggest risk to professionals in the AI era is not the technology itself, but the refusal to evolve. Speaking on the Invest Like The Best podcast, Brian Chesky said “The two types of people who will not make the shift to AI are pure people managers, and people that are rigid and don’t want to change and evolve,”. Explaining that as AI transforms company structures and how employees do their jobs, managers need to adapt to the new era. During the podcast, he specifically called out people managers saying that every higher-up will have to be a “hybrid people manager” or “manager IC” (individual contributor) to succeed.“I don’t think people managers will have any value in the future. When I mean people managers, [I mean] people that only manage people,” Chesky continued.
