A.I. Reshapes Tech Jobs First, Before the Rest of Us

The technology industry predicts artificial intelligence will transform white-collar work. Now, that change is starting within Silicon Valley itself. Tech companies are increasingly using A.I. tools for their own core tasks. Engineers use code-generating A.I. to work faster. Marketers use it to draft campaigns. This shift gives the industry's workers an early look at a future it is building for everyone else. The move is practical. Using A.I. internally helps companies refine the tools they sell. It also serves as a real-world test of how A.I. can alter professional work. The result is a paradox. The same people creating technology meant to disrupt jobs are experiencing that disruption firsthand. Their experience may preview how A.I. could change workplaces far beyond California.
