More to it than That

But that’s not the whole story. The truth is, AI systems are also creating new jobs every day. It is not replacing everyone – it is reshaping work.

Start with real-world facts. According to PwC’s 2025 AI Jobs Barometer:

• Workers with AI skills earn 56% more than others (up from 25% last year).
• Industries that use AI see a 3X increase in revenue per employee.
• And Veritone reports AI job vacancies are up 32% year-over-year. Median salary? $160,056.  

Those aren’t predictions. That’s happening now. Human + AI collaboration is transforming how companies work – and it’s opening new career paths. Roles that didn’t exist two years ago now sit in org charts. And many more are coming fast.

New Roles?

Let’s look at the first wave of Human AI-powered job roles:

• Knowledge Manager
• Knowledge Administrator
• Systems Integrator
• Prompt Engineer
• AI Knowledge Trainer
• Change Management AI Advisor
• AI Technology Stack Engineer
• Content Specialist
• Robotics Simulation Specialist
• AI Simulations Trainer
• Machine Learning Analyst
• Ethical AI Proofreader / Trainer
• AI Software Development Manager
• AI RAG Processing Manager
• HR Coach (AI Agent Onboarding)

And it doesn’t stop there. These 15 more Human AI roles are gaining traction:

• AI Strategy Officer (CAIO)
• AI Business Transformation Consultant
• AI Workflow Architect
• Synthetic Data Designer
• Digital Twin Product Manager
• AI Compliance Auditor
• Human-Centered AI Interaction Designer
• LLM AI Explainability Analyst
• Cognitive Load Coach
• Edge AI Deployment Engineer
• Multi-AI-Agent Coordination Specialist
• AI Bias Mitigation Specialist
• AI Brand Reputation Manager
• AI-Integrated Curriculum Designer
• Freelancer-AI Workflow Coach

These jobs are forming real departments. Not just within IT. Entire Human AI partnered teams will appear in marketing, HR, finance, and operations. Their role? Train and govern AI agents. Integrate them into daily work. And guide productivity gains across every function.

Change Management Example

Every time a company installs a new platform – chaos follows. Manuals flood inboxes. Questions pile up. People wait for answers.

Now imagine an internal Human AI help desk. One that only uses approved docs. That answers instantly. No hallucinations. Just clear, helpful guidance based on internal knowledge.

This isn’t future tech. It’s already happening in forward-thinking companies, using kama.ai systems, for example. Technology like this gives you real access to the information you need. It is provided to you from an intelligent AI Agent – answering change management project questions. Best of all – it can limit its answers to specifically the change project in question. That is, after an AI knowledge manager sets up a Trusted Collection as a knowledge base.

And these systems don’t run themselves. They need:

• Trainers.
• Knowledge managers.
• Department leads to shape use cases.
• Teams to coach employees on use.

That’s the new Human + AI workplace.

Augmenting NOT Replacing

This isn’t about replacing people. It’s about augmenting people. We can do more, faster. With better accuracy. And less frustration. That’s productivity. And with Jevons Paradox in mind – the more productive we get, the more we do. Demand increases. Work expands.

Human AI systems drive efficiency. And efficiency creates new kinds of work.

Of course, transitions are hard. Yes, companies like IBM laid off 8,000 workers. Google, Amazon, and others are optimizing too. These are hard moments. But we’ve seen this before.

Remember the 1970s and 1980s? The robotics revolution? People were laid off – but many retrained. They became robotics programmers, engineers, and maintenance staff. They led the next era.

New Era – New Mindset

Learn to work with Human AI. Train it. Govern it. Integrate it. And yes – retrain it.

Human AI systems aren’t static. They evolve. And so must we. This is not a one-time change. It’s an ongoing opportunity.

Let’s be honest. AI won’t slow down, and neither should we. This is one of the greatest productivity leaps in history. Let’s treat it that way.

The future is hybrid. Human + AI. It’s time to rethink work. Some roles will disappear. But far more will appear – and evolve.

Don’t wait to be disrupted. Find the edges. That’s where the opportunity lives. Your new job isn’t being taken. It’s being invented – by a Human + AI collaboration.
