According to venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, artificial intelligence is not putting people out of work, but rather creating an unexpected boom in hiring. The a16z co-founder said tech companies are hiring thousands of workers to create data to train generative models, Business Insider reports.

Major AI players face challenges in creating new artificial intelligence models. According to Andreessen, this is partly due to a lack of new, high-quality human-generated data.
Large models are trained with human-generated data from the Internet, and that data “is not that much,” Andreessen explained. “We’re running out of human knowledge,” agreed a16z co-founder Ben Horowitz. One solution is to hire a lot of people to “produce new insights” about which models to train, Business Insider notes.
According to Andreessen, companies are so data-hungry that they “hire thousands of programmers, doctors and lawyers to write answers to questions by hand.” “The irony is that there is a hiring boom going on right now. And a big part of that boom is attracting experts to create answers and train artificial intelligence,” Andreessen concluded.
Previously, informed sources told Bloomberg that OpenAI, Google and Anthropic encountered problems when creating new AI models. One of the obstacles companies have faced is that they are finding it increasingly difficult to find untapped sources of high-quality data for AI training. Furthermore, even “modest improvements” may not justify the “enormous costs” of developing new models, agency interlocutors warned.
