Summary
Creativity will become the most in-demand trait for job-seekers as AI automates routine work and coding, Animoca Brands co-founder Yat Siu said at the SuperAI conference in Singapore.
AI will still disrupt the labor market, he said, but its growing ability to commoditize capability and intelligence should shift human value toward creativity and coordination.
Siu argued that machines can handle regular tasks while people focus on being "truly human," framing the technology as a net job creator rather than a labor destroyer.
On AI risk, Siu said he is more optimistic than alarmed, pushing back on nuclear-arms-race comparisons and arguing most users will deploy the technology beneficially.
Animoca Brands, founded in 2014 and now holding stakes in more than 600 companies, gives Siu a broad vantage point across gaming, decentralized finance and real-world assets.
