Will AI steal your job? Its complicated, new survey reveals
Summary
A Snowflake survey of 2,050 executives shows AI is reshaping IT roles: many organizations report both cuts and new hiring in the same job categories (for example, IT operations and software development). Overall, 77% of respondents saw some job creation linked to AI even as certain task-based roles are automated, and organizations further along in AI adoption report net positive employment effects. The survey highlights growing demand for higher-skill areas such as AI operations, data engineering, governance, and cybersecurity, while 35% of organizations cite skill gaps as a major barrier. Respondents also flagged technical and governance concerns for agentic AI, including interoperability, legacy system compatibility, real-time data requirements, job displacement, and the need for human oversight.
