What the AI Age Lacks Most Is Not Technology, but People

Are you also worried that AI will take your job?

Have you also heard that 90% of future professions will be automated away?

Today, a former Google Brain researcher and CEO of a top AI company completely overturned this assumption.

Myra Ragu, co-founder and CEO of Somaya AI, said in a recent interview something almost no one dares to say: as AI becomes more powerful, we will actually need more human involvement, not less.

This view sounds counterintuitive, but the logic is simple.

What is AI’s greatest advantage? It does not need to sleep. In the future, your AI agent will handle work, collect information, and complete tasks while you sleep.

But then comes the question: who tells AI what is right? Who calibrates AI’s judgment? Who is responsible for AI’s final output?

Just like when we used to do machine-learning research, we would let models train overnight, but someone still had to check the results and adjust parameters the next morning.

Future AI agents will be the same. Before going to sleep, you need to give them clear instructions and frameworks, then review their output the next morning. The more AI outputs, the more humans are needed for review and judgment.

Many people think the future of AI is an omnipotent general-purpose large model. But Myra tells us that what creates value in the real world will always be systems, not a single model.

Autonomous driving is not a single computer-vision model. It is a system made of countless components. Financial AI is the same.

General large models can answer questions with standard answers, but real-world problems never have standard answers. The same market trend can lead different investors to completely opposite judgments.

AI’s job is not to give one “correct answer,” but to provide personalized analysis according to each person’s framework, experience, and preferences. And that framework can only be set by humans.

This leads to a more important question: what will future work become?

Myra’s answer: we will see a completely new job category, AI shepherds.

Their job is not to be replaced by AI, but to manage AI. They will tell AI what matters and what does not. They will set the right judgment framework for AI. They will correct AI in time when it makes mistakes. They will be responsible for AI’s final decisions.

And the stronger AI becomes, the more tasks it can handle, and the more AI shepherds we will need.

Many people worry that AI will make humans redundant. The truth is exactly the opposite: AI will free humans from repetitive labor and let us focus on what is truly irreplaceable.

AI can help you analyze data, but it cannot make judgments for you.

AI can help you collect information, but it cannot form beliefs for you.

AI can help you complete tasks, but it cannot define goals for you.

So stop being anxious that AI will take your job.

The people who will truly be eliminated are not those who know how to use AI, but those who can only do repetitive labor and have no judgment framework of their own.

In this age of rapidly developing AI, the most valuable abilities will always be independent thinking, the ability to make judgments, and the ability to keep experimenting and learning.

As Myra said: embrace change, experiment with energy, and you will discover a whole new world.
