Matt Garman, Amazon's cloud boss, has a warning for business leaders rushing
to swap workers for AI: Don't ditch your junior employees. From a report: The
Amazon Web Services CEO said on an episode of the "Matthew Berman" podcast
published Tuesday that replacing entry-level staff with AI tools is "one of
the dumbest things I've ever heard." "They're probably the least expensive
employees you have. They're the most leaned into your AI tools," he said.
"How's that going to work when you go like 10 years in the future and you
have no one that has built up or learned anything?" Garman said companies
should keep hiring graduates and teaching them how to build software, break
down problems, and adopt best practices. He also said the most valuable
skills in an AI-driven economy aren't tied to any one college degree. "If you
spend all of your time learning one specific thing and you're like, 'That's
the thing I'm going to be expert at for the next 30 years,' I can promise you
that's not going to be valuable 30 years from now," he said.
