The headlines:  “Top VC Kai-Fu Lee Says His Prediction that AI Will Displace 50% of Jobs by 2027 is ‘Uncannily Accurate’ on Fortune Magazine May 25, 2024.

If that wasn’t bad enough the next Fortune Magazine article I read said: “Elon Musk Predicts Jobs Will Become ‘Kinda Like a Hobby’: The AI and Robots will Provide any Goods and Services you Want shouted Fortune Magazine cover shouted in May 24, 2024

WTF.  Not the kind of warm and fuzzy article I was expecting to read this lazy afternoon..  It’s really fearful!

So, have you asked yourself: “Will AI and robots take my job?”  This is now the #1 workplace fear.  It’s not quiet quitting.  It’s not work life balance.

Will I have work/career/job in 5 years.  Tough question.  No easy answer.  It seems that it depends.  What do you do?  How much of the work repetitive?  How much is creative?

Let’s look at AI can do really well.  AI can process and distill huge amounts of information.  The downside is that it can hallucinate.  Not good!

Jobs in jeopardy due to AI:  Accountants.  Mathematicians.  Writers.  Interpreters.  This is according to a study by University of Pennsylvania and OpenAI.
