Why these startup CEOs don’t think AI will replace human roles
TL;DR
Read AI CEO David Lee: AI augments human capabilities, boosts efficiency, and frees workers for high-value tasks.
Key Points
- Lucidya CEO Abdullah Al-Zoubi: AI absorbs repetitive, mundane work so humans can focus on creative and strategic output.
- Both founders frame AI as a productivity multiplier, not a job replacement technology.
- Statements were made at Web Summit Qatar, in the context of AI note-taking and customer support tools.
Nauti's Take
Of course AI CEOs say AI won't kill jobs – their investors would hate the alternative. The truth is somewhere in between: the augmentation argument holds for some roles, not all.
Anyone stuck in repetitive workflows shouldn't rely on founder reassurances, but should actively reskill instead.
