If the power of AI is unleashed to create access, it would result in new markets that effectively create new jobs for people. [...] However, if AI targets existing markets and makes them more efficient, it’s likely to destroy more jobs than it creates. [...] The question, then, is not simply whether AI will destroy jobs. It is where we choose to point this increasingly abundant and inexpensive intelligence.

Efosa Ojomo, “What Disruptive Innovation is teaching me about AI and Labor,” Clayton Christensen Institute, September 28, 2026. Ojomo argues that AI’s net jobs effect depends on how it is deployed: it can create new markets and jobs, but may destroy more jobs when used to make existing markets more efficient.
