Everyone’s terrified of AI taking jobs. I can’t hire fast enough

For the past year, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has been predicting a white-collar crisis driven by artificial intelligence. Well, where is it? As the CEO of a fast-growing tech company, I see what AI is actually doing inside businesses every day, and it doesn’t look like a crisis. It looks like a revolution in productivity, and the people winning are the ones who leaned in.

I say this often, but it’s true: our team has never been busier. At Telnyx, we’ve grown our global team by nearly 20% over the past year and are hiring for over 100 roles. AI is not replacing that work. It is working alongside us as we build real-time voice agents and deploy internal assistants that help teams move operational work forward faster. That growth is directly tied to a workforce that understands and leverages AI, and businesses across the country are following the same playbook.
