Amazon CEO Andy Jassy says young people should learn to use AI and experiment with it, rather than try to avoid it. His advice comes with a qualification: don’t let the tools replace critical thinking and judgement.
Why it mattersIn an interview on The a16z Show, Jassy said AI can help people get through preliminary reading, research and note-taking faster, but that human ingenuity still matters when deciding how the pieces fit together. He also said AI-generated writing can be recognisable when it feels “not quite right”. Fortune published the account on 26 October. It’s practical advice, not a forecast about which jobs will survive. For anyone using AI at work or study, the distinction is useful: let it speed up the groundwork, then do the thinking yourself.
Discuss: Should schools and employers teach people to use AI as a first-draft assistant, or put more emphasis on learning to work without it?
