Washington Post – no paywall: “A knowledge architect. An orchestration engineer. A conversation designer. A human AI collaboration leader. If you’ve never heard of these job titles, it’s because they have just debuted at companies aiming to fuel their businesses with artificial intelligence. From the nation’s largest employer, Walmart, to tech companies Salesforce and Workday, and accounting firm KPMG, companies are creating new jobs amid the AI boom. Some are entirely new, while others are an evolution of a former role or a combination of previous jobs plus new responsibilities, companies say. The developments come as many workers fear being replaced by AI, especially as some CEOs warn of massive job displacement. The shift in jobs represents the next era of work, which many researchers and companies predict will involve humans either using or working alongside AI.“This is a fundamental dynamic of a new tech sweeping into the economy,” Mark Muro, a fellow at the Brookings Institution, said about the new job titles. “Some of these are probably cul-de-sacs that are seen as not on point, some will be larger than people expect, and some we can’t imagine at this point.”

About 20 percent of U.S. professionals have job titles today that didn’t exist in 2000, according to LinkedIn. Now generative AI is accelerating the change, creating new roles even if there aren’t industry standards for job titles or descriptions. A single tech role might be listed under more than 40 different titles, LinkedIn said.
