Glassdoor CEO talks about the hottest jobs in the AI boom—and the one job he thinks is phasing out

Unsurprisingly, AI is creating a boom in tech-based roles. But it’s destroying jobs in creative writing — a career that could previously only be done by a human.

“I’d say that ML [machine learning engineers], data scientists, and people in the broader AI science space, they’re the hottest job positions,” Sutherland-Wong says. “They have been for a while, but they continue to be where you have the greatest demand for those roles and there’s such limits on the supply.”

While computer-based jobs may be growing, others are fading out of the picture. Sutherland-Wong says he’s noticed one role in particular disappearing from job posting sites. 

“Interestingly over the last few years since generative AI has become a thing, copywriter jobs and job postings for them have come down,” he says. “Those kinds of trends speak to where the economy and hiring [are] going to shift as AI really becomes a bigger thing in our economy.”
