Few leaders have a better view of the impact AI is already having on the job market than the CEO of Glassdoor, Christian Sutherland-Wong. At Fortune’s Global Forum this Tuesday in New York, he weighed in on where he sees AI taking away positions or creating new ones.

Unsurprisingly, AI is creating a boom in tech-based roles. But it’s destroying jobs in creative writing — a career that could previously only be done by a human.

“I’d say that ML [machine learning engineers], data scientists, and people in the broader AI science space, they’re the hottest job positions,” Sutherland-Wong says. “They have been for a while, but they continue to be where you have the greatest demand for those roles and there’s such limits on the supply.”

While computer-based jobs may be growing, others are fading out of the picture. Sutherland-Wong says he’s noticed one role in particular disappearing from job posting sites. 

“Interestingly over the last few years since generative AI has become a thing, copywriter jobs and job postings for them have come down,” he says. “Those kinds of trends speak to where the economy and hiring [are] going to shift as AI really becomes a bigger thing in our economy.”

This session was presented by DXC Technology. Discussion leaders included:

  • Howard Boville, Executive Vice President, Consulting & Engineering Services—Powered by AI, DXC Technology
  • Noosheen Hashemi, Chief Executive Officer, January AI
  • Steven Silberstein, Chief Executive Officer, FS-ISAC
  • Christian Sutherland-Wong, Chief Executive Officer, Glassdoor
  • Moderator: Sharon Goldman, AI Reporter, Fortune
