Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff believes AI will not result in mass job losses but rather enhance the workforce.
Benioff views AI as a tool for radical augmentation of the workforce, contrary to some tech industry predictions.
He has paused hiring in certain areas at Salesforce to leverage AI productivity but is increasing sales-related hires due to customer demand for AI deployment.
Benioff emphasizes the importance of overcoming fears surrounding AI and highlights the potential for significant AI-driven growth in small and medium businesses.
