AI won’t kill these jobs: IBM plans to triple hiring in roles widely expected to be replaced by artificial intelligence

At a time when many people believe artificial intelligence will take away entry-level jobs, IBM is taking a different path. The company has announced that it plans to triple its hiring for entry-level roles in the United States in 2026. This is surprising because many of these jobs are the same ones experts say AI can easily do.

According to a Bloomberg report, Nickel LaMoreaux IBM’s Chief Human Resources Officer, said the company is not cutting back on these roles. Instead, it is changing how the jobs are designed. According to her, AI can handle routine and repetitive tasks, but it cannot fully replace human thinking, judgment, and interaction.
