While some might argue that artificial intelligence (AI) will take away jobs, Mark Cuban disagrees. According to a post on his X account, the billionaire and Shark Tank co-host thinks that AI will create more jobs — below are his reasons why.

Cuban Thinks Humans Are Still Superior
Cuban’s reasoning is that AI hasn’t caught up to the processing speed of human brains — or even dogs. We’re able to cross the street safely without worrying about glitches, unlike fully self-driving cars. Cuban pointed out that AI doesn’t capture, evaluate and process in real time and won’t for “a long time to come.”

While language learning models today learn predominantly through text today, Cuban said advancements are occurring in reasoning speed, logic and quantity — learning through distillation as well as through new sources.
To Cuban, this means companies will need to protect their intellectual property and build their own models.
Cuban Views AI as Human Empowerment
Rather than viewing AI as a human takeover, Cuban sees it as human empowerment. Through all the change and innovation, people will be needed to run these AI companies and convey our visual world to AI models.
Could Cuban Be Wrong?
While AI may open new roles, it will likely also close some opportunities. The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025 shows that 40% of employers expect to reduce their workforce where AI can automate tasks, which could affect entry-level types of roles.
For instance, AI could replace more than 50% of the tasks performed by market research analysts and sales representatives, compared to just 9% and 21% for their managerial counterparts, according to Bloomberg. Entry-level software engineers are also vulnerable, according to Forbes.
AI could impact roughly 50 million jobs in the next few years, according to an analysis from the Burning Glass Institute and the Harvard Business School Project on Managing the Future of Work. Ultimately, it’s yet to be seen whether Cuban has the right idea about AI and the workforce or not.
