Well, there will be a whole new set of jobs created
1. VP of AI Transformation: Job description, how to use AI to increase organizational productivity 2. AI Curriculum developer and teacher for Middle school summer camps 3. AI educational consultant: Job description, How to differentiate your $$$ private school with more AI courses 4. AI trainers: Teach plumbers, electricians on new AI tools to find leaks, issues using AI and make more money Many, many more jobs .. that never ever existed |
These are jobs that already exist with technology--just pivoting to these roles. |
| Government is safe for now... Because it takes us 20 years to adopt new tech. |
For each of these jobs that is created, the society will lose 5-10 others. |
You seem to have missed the point, it’s okay. |

Exactly, the AI proof careers will be those who can embrace, leverage and develop skills in AI. Acknowledge the trend, figure out how to adapt and leverage it for your next role ( or change your current job description). Start an initiative in your company (or get attached to the one existing) on leveraging AI for the future. Visionary leaders, who can transform and adapt will always be in demand |
Like coding! |
My cousin is using AI to put together content for #2 but for a classroom setting, not a summer camp. Someone needs to get AI to do what they want. |
society will figure out what other jobs will be needed. I'm sure people thought the same when the PC became popular, replacing secretaries, or typewriters. Same for cars, replacing the need for blacksmiths and horse breeders in large scale. |
Nope! AI can code. The thing is, yes, there will be a few winners with AI, but the whole premise is that it eliminates work so there's no way around eliminating workers. The other thing is that we really can't afford the electricity needed to fuel every damn company thinking they are an AI visionary. |
Exactly. Not AI but think about the self-checkouts at Walmart. 5 cashier jobs became one person watching the self-checkout machines. They definitely did not re-allocate those cashier roles to other positions in the store. |

Yes, jobs will be eliminated, sure thing. But eventually, we as a society will figure out how to make money and keep people productive. No way we are going into decades long depression, where AI takes it all and human race and potential becomes completely irrelevant. I do think with the extra productive capacity, there will be more jobs exploring the next frontiers in space, bio-med research etc.
Think AI as an outsourcer (for now atleast). Humans should outsource all the jobs that they can, so they can do more interesting, ground breaking work and get some semblance of work life balance in todays hurried society. Maybe companies can do more with less, and we can afford as a society to give more generous parental leave without having to diminish corporate profitability. Maybe the out of work people, are forced to create startups around addressing climate change, social reform. I do think AI is a net positive for a society. People who can't and won't adapt will suffer the most. So stop looking for AI proof careers, change your perspective, and see what more you can do with AI in your current jobs, upgrade skills, encourage and nudge your kids on growing up in an AI age. |
This isn't scalable. Like everything, a few people will make most of the wealth off the back of AI. The governments around the world will eventually have to come up with a universal income (poverty-level) to sustain people. There's a few ways this can all go, and dystopia is one of them. |
I think you underestimate the adage "necessity is the mother of all inventions". People will figure out ways to provide new goods and services. Even so, AI requires tremendous amounts of electricity to power the AI brain. If AI gets to the point where so many jobs are replaced, where is all that energy going to come from? |
