What Exactly Are These New AI Jobs, Anyway? | Shimmy Says Ep. 40
Everyone keeps saying AI is “creating new jobs.” But what does that actually mean in the real world?
In Shimmy Says Ep. 40, Alan Shimel breaks down the roles showing up right now as organizations push AI from demos into daily operations. Some of these jobs are brand new. Others are older roles that now require AI fluency, better data discipline, and stronger systems thinking.
This episode gets specific about what companies need, why these roles exist, and what skills separate signal from noise. It also tackles the part nobody wants to admit: AI is changing expectations for almost every knowledge worker, even if the job title doesn’t change.
If you’re trying to future-proof your career, the goal isn’t to “compete with AI.” The goal is to understand how work changes when AI becomes part of the stack, then build the skills that make you more valuable in that new reality.
