Apollo economist claims no evidence of AI-related job losses, cites growing demand for specialized workers
By
Craig Hale
Summary
Apollo Global Management's chief economist Torsten Sløk argues there is "zero evidence" of net job losses caused by AI, pushing back against widespread fears of AI-driven unemployment. While he acknowledges job displacement is occurring as companies shift priorities, he points to surging demand for AI specialists, engineers, data center staff, and energy infrastructure workers as evidence that AI is creating rather than eliminating jobs overall.
