CEO of $248 billion cybersecurity company says workers are about to face a ‘Darwinian moment’ thanks to AI: Evolve or get cut
- Palo Alto CEO Nikesh Arora says 90% of big-company employees aren't AI-savvy, calling the moment "Darwinian" for careers — adapt or risk being left behind.
- Companies are already cutting staff and rebuilding with AI-fluent hires (examples include Coinbase, Block and Cloudflare), shifting hiring toward proven technical chops.
- Leaders from Google to Fiverr urge everyone — even C-suite execs — to practice and adopt AI tools now, not just talk about them.
