Inside the AI boom: A talent chief's playbook for winning in the job market

This article from Yahoo Finance, published July 20, 2026, features an interview with Sultan Khan, head of talent acquisition at OpenArt AI. Khan argues that employers value willingness to learn and curiosity over years of AI experience. OpenArt has grown its workforce by 300% in 7-8 months and is hiring across engineering, product, design, and creative roles. Khan advises job seekers to start using AI tools independently and complete side projects. The article cites PwC data showing a 56% wage premium for AI-skilled workers and a World Economic Forum estimate of 78 million net new jobs from AI by 2030. Khan asserts AI will transform jobs rather than eliminate them.
