Amid layoffs and hiring freezes, a new AI job is taking over offices

For months, the conversation around artificial intelligence has largely revolved around layoffs, hiring freezes, and fears that automation could wipe out entry-level work. However, as companies race to integrate AI into daily operations, a new kind of job is emerging inside workplaces: one focused not on building AI models, but on making AI actually work for businesses.

Industry leaders are calling it the “AI workflows” role, and some believe it could become the modern version of traditional business operations jobs.
