IBM's CEO, Arvind Krishna, has stated that he does not intend to eliminate any programmers due to AI but expects them to become 30% more productive because of the technology. He also noted that AI could automate repetitive white-collar jobs but argued that it would not completely replace jobs. Krishna emphasized that IBM was increasing software engineering and sales roles over the next few years while phasing out some back-office HR roles. He claimed that more jobs were created than lost due to AI, with an increase of around 8,000 jobs and a decrease of about 800.
