Wearable tech company Whoop plans to hire over 600 employees in 2026, representing substantial growth. This hiring spree contrasts with recent predictions of significant job losses in Massachusetts due to AI. CEO Will Ahmed believes AI can be a "force multiplier" rather than a job displacer. The company is launching a new program to attract graduating college seniors. Whoop's expansion highlights a different perspective on the impact of artificial intelligence on the workforce.
