Tesla former chief HR officer Valerie Capers Workman has said fears around artificial intelligence (AI) wiping out white-collar jobs are being overstated, even as major tech firms announce layoffs and ramp up AI spending. In a Fortune report, Workman said recent moves by companies like Meta and Microsoft are not a clear signal of what lies ahead for most workers. Instead, she suggested the future of work will involve people working alongside AI tools, not being replaced by them entirely. She also urged professionals to focus on adapting rather than reacting with panic.
