The big question in corporate America today is to what extent AI will upend the entry-level white collar workforce. Some have warned a full obliteration of the entry-level workforce; others say those fears are overblown. And if the likes of Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei are right, we can see half of all those positions eliminated within a few years.
“We’re hiring 1,000 new grads & interns right now to ride the AI exponential,” the post read. “You are right they said AI would kill entry-level jobs. Meanwhile these grads and interns are building it—powering Agentforce & Headless360 at Salesforce,” he said of the company’s agentic AI platforms.
A Salesforce spokesperson told Fortune the company had nothing to add beyond Benioff’s X post.
“In 10 years, we will hopefully have 75,000 employees, as small as possible, as big as necessary. They’re going to be super busy” Huang said. “Those 75,000 employees will be working with 7.5 million agents.”
“I need more capacity because we have more demand than ever,” he said.
