A Former Meta AI Exec Says Entry-Level Jobs Are Already Disappearing

Clara Shih, former head of business AI at Meta and Salesforce, says the turning point came when she watched AI agents match—and in some cases outperform—her top employees across real-world tasks. That experience pushed her to launch the New Work Foundation, a nonprofit aimed at helping Gen Z adapt to an AI-driven labor market where entry-level roles are shrinking and automation risk is rising. Data backs the shift: job seekers are already facing fewer openings, while tools like her “Field Report” show high automation risk across fields like law despite thousands of open roles. At the same time, workers actively using AI are more likely to earn promotions, reinforcing a growing divide between adopters and non-adopters. The deeper thesis: AI isn’t just changing jobs—it’s collapsing the traditional entry point into the workforce and replacing it with a skills gap defined by AI fluency.

So what does that mean for you?

The old path—degree → entry-level job → career ladder—is getting less reliable. The people moving fastest now are the ones learning how to work with AI, not around it. In practical terms, that means:

• Treat AI tools as core job skills, not optional add-ons
• Build experience by using AI to produce real work, not just learning theory
• Stay flexible—career paths may start outside traditional entry-level roles

Sony’s AI Robot “Ace” Beats Top Human Ping-Pong Players

Sony’s AI research division has developed an autonomous robot named Ace that can compete with—and sometimes defeat—top-level human table tennis players, marking a rare breakthrough in AI applied to physical sports. In controlled matches following official International Table Tennis Federation rules, Ace won three out of five games against elite players and has since recorded wins against professional-level competitors. The system combines nine synchronized cameras, three vision systems, and an eight-joint robotic arm to track high-speed ball movement and execute precise returns—often faster than the human eye can follow. Researchers say the project wasn’t just about winning matches, but about advancing real-time perception and control in unpredictable environments. The deeper thesis: AI is starting to move beyond digital dominance into complex physical tasks that require speed, coordination, and adaptation in the real world.

Key Takeaways:

• Sony’s robot Ace achieved expert-level performance in table tennis, even beating professional players in recent matches
• The system relies on high-speed vision, real-time decision-making, and precise robotic control to operate at human reaction limits
• The same underlying technology could extend to manufacturing, service robotics, and other real-world environments requiring fast, adaptive physical interaction
