No, AI isn't stealing your tech job - it's just transforming it (www.zdnet.com)

A new BCG report led by Julie Bedard warns that AI — especially generative models and autonomous agents — is evolving faster than most companies’ workforce strategies, and technology roles are at the front line of that change. Indeed research cited in the report finds IT jobs are far more exposed than average (46% of jobs overall vs. 81% of software development, 79% data & analytics, 71% IT infrastructure, 70% IT systems). Rather than wholesale replacement, BCG argues AI is reshaping job scope: autonomous agents already handle end-to-end tasks like coding, testing and analysis under human oversight, elevating strategic and design responsibilities for people. Technically and operationally this means role boundaries and team structures will shift: engineers move from implementation to “why/what” system design; UX/UI designers become architects of AI-powered products; product managers take on broader strategy, rapid prototyping and prompt design; data scientists and QA staff shift toward high-level oversight and agent orchestration. BCG outlines three adoption stages — tool-based (humans lead, AI scaffolds), workflow transformation (AI generates production output, smaller cross-functional teams), and agent-led orchestration (agents execute end-to-end workflows; humans design and govern systems). The takeaway for AI/ML practitioners: prioritize hybrid skill sets, AI fluency and systems-level thinking as hiring, workflows and career ladders are rewritten.
