AI represents a massive opportunity for job creation across all skill levels. AI factories and infrastructure will generate demand for everyone from software engineers to steel workers, creating entire new industries and advanced trades that didn't exist before. The technology will spawn AI-powered tools and services that require human expertise to build, maintain and operate.
