Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff announced at the World Economic Forum that the current generation of CEOs will be the last to manage entirely human workforces. He emphasized the rise of AI agents, which are designed to take over complex tasks, thereby transforming the workplace dynamics. This shift raises concerns about job security, as AI systems are increasingly capable of performing tasks traditionally done by humans.
Benioff reassured attendees that AI is intended to support rather than replace human workers, predicting a collaborative future where AI enhances productivity. Other industry leaders, like Dario Amodei from Anthropic, echoed these sentiments, suggesting that AI could surpass human capabilities by 2026 or 2027. Companies like Salesforce are already deploying AI agents, with a goal of introducing a billion AI agents to their clients, indicating a significant shift in workforce management.
