Box Inc. (NYSE:BOX) CEO Aaron Levie on Saturday said artificial intelligence (AI) is driving hiring and business expansion across large enterprises, challenging concerns that the technology will primarily eliminate jobs.
AI Drives Hiring And Reinvestment
In a post on X, Levie said that in most of his conversations with chief information officers, chief technology officers and chief executive officers, companies are either hiring because of AI or reinvesting efficiency gains into new areas of growth.
"Again, maybe counterintuitive, but in the majority of conversations I have with CIOs, CTOs, and CEOs in large enterprises, they are either growing due to AI (in new job functions like FDEs, engineering, etc.) or at a minimum reinvesting efficiency savings back into the business in new areas (sales, marketing, etc.)," Levie wrote.
The Box chief executive pointed to comments by Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, saying the AI boom is creating entirely new jobs tied to building AI systems and implementing them across industries.
