In a post shared on social media plans X (formerly known as Twitter) Patel said, \u201cI\u2019ve been saying this for months, and the early data is beginning to support it.<!-- --> Five years from now, I believe AI will create more jobs than it eliminates.\u201d Patel is of the opinion that AI does not eliminate the need for human contribution but instead it shifts challenges to new parts of the workflow. When AI accelerates one process, organisations require people to solve new constraints and capture additional value. \u201cAutomation does not eliminate the need for human contribution. It often reveals how much more could be accomplished with it,\u201d he wrote.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"5\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>AI fluency as workforce divide<br \/><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Patel also emphasised that the biggest divide in the future workforce will be between those who can effectively use AI and those who cannot. He also added that AI-fluent workers could be 50x or even 100x more effective\u201d in certain roles compared to peers without AI skills. Patel also dismissed the notion that society has a fixed amount of work, arguing that lower costs from technology spur new products, markets and opportunities.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>He also predicted that the future will have more jobs, but they will not be the same roles performed in the same way by people with the same skills. He has also urged the policymakers and businesses to prioritise AI skills development rather than attempting to shield workers from technological change.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Read Cisco president Jeetu Patel\u2019s complete post here<br \/><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/><span class=\"em\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">I\u2019ve been saying this for months, and the early data is beginning to support it.
