AI and Jobs

I can’t sleep knowing one day I will be replaced by AI. The government keeps talking about how good AI is but not how AI will take people jobs and make people redundant. Will there be jobs in the future? How worried should we been?

It depends, for those in dead end menial admin jobs then they should be worried and would be right not to sleep at night - what is the future for them?

For people with hands on jobs such as tree surgeons, electricians, hairdressers then they are fine.

Equally those with highly skilled desk jobs, like top end programmers capable of creaying and customising platforms or senior management accountants to interrogate data are fine. Similar senior leaders will have roles.

But yeah, life will get tougher for those without marketable skills.

There's no point in worrying about something that has not taken place :smile:

Me being long term unemployed has nothing to do with me worrying (well, maybe a little bit) and with OPs initial question. I do not know why you mentioned this to me.

I was referring to you saying it's not happened yet. Plenty of jobs have been automated, more and more so are do to AI.
