"Robots and computers will own any clearly bounded job, skill or game. Humans should focus on creative work” says Naval Ravikant

Artificial intelligence is moving fast, and many people are worried about how it will change jobs. It is now writing text, driving cars, and doing office work that once needed human effort. 

As this shift grows, tech leaders are sharing their views on what comes next. One of them is AngelList founder Naval Ravikant, who recently spoke about how humans can stay useful in a world where computers are getting smarter every day.

Will AI Take Jobs According to Naval Ravikant?

Naval Ravikant believes that machines will take over jobs that are easy to define and repeat. 

In his recent tweet, he said,“Robots and computers will own any clearly bounded job, skill or game. Humans should focus on creative work.” 

His message highlights a simple idea: when work follows clear rules and fixed steps, computers are better suited to do it.

Jobs such as data entry, factory work, basic testing, accounting, and rule-based coding fall into this group. These roles depend on set processes and clear outcomes. Machines can do this work without breaks, at lower cost, and with fewer errors. Even games like chess show how computers can beat humans when rules are clear and limits are set.

Naval Ravikant is not saying humans are being pushed aside. Instead, he points to where people still have an edge. Creative work does not follow strict rules. It often changes based on the situation and needs human judgment. Writing, design, art, product ideas, strategy, and problem solving are examples of work that depend on original thought.

This kind of work is harder for machines to copy because it involves taste, emotion, and personal views. While tools can help, they still need human direction. Ravikant believes people should spend less time competing with machines on speed and more time building ideas and thinking in new ways.

Naval’s view offers a clear path forward. As machines handle fixed tasks, human value shifts toward thinking, creating, and building things that do not have easy answers. In a tech-driven world, creativity may remain one of the strongest human skills.
