"AI May Not Take Your Job, But Someone Using AI Will"

You've probably heard that saying.

It’s everywhere on the internet.

I think people who say that, are fooling themselves and others.

It's what people tell themselves to remove stress and urgency and avoid taking action.

Or because they simply lack necessary information.

So they stick their head in the sand.

It’s easier.

Here's what Sam Altman said:

↓

This was from a conversation he had with Sally Kornbluth, the President of MIT.

I think he’s spot on - AI will change our entire world.

The other day I read a newsletter from AI-expert, Allie K Miller.

This is her prediction on AI and the future of jobs:

1. Increase current roles — Demand for AI and machine learning roles, like data scientists, machine learning engineers, and AI ethicists, will have to grow to develop, refine, and govern these systems.

2. Augment current roles — Many jobs, like marketing managers, lawyers, and salespeople, will use AI for tasks like content creation, campaign optimisation, document review, case research, candidate screening, risk assessment, and personalised recommendations.

Nearly every role will become AI-driven, similar to the internet's impact on jobs.

3. Decrease some current roles — Routine tasks, like junior-level data entry, may diminish.

Focus on tasks, not jobs, as many will evolve rather than vanish. This raises questions about career growth and the shift from education to employment if these entry-level positions decline.

How will the transition change if these jobs become scarce?

4. Create new roles — AI Operations Manager to oversee AI systems, AI Avatar Manager to handle virtual assistants, and AI Agent Builder to manage AI agents.

New roles will also emerge at the intersection of AI and various industries, like AI Healthcare Specialist and AI Financial Advisor.

5. Expect significant changes — A 2020 World Economic Forum predicted a net gain of 12 million jobs by 2035 (85M lost, 97M gained), but rapid advancements like ChatGPT may render this outdated.

Newer estimates, such as Goldman Sachs' forecast of 300 million jobs affected by 2030, might be more accurate.

With nearly 8 billion people and about 3.5 billion employed, we could see a 10-25% impact on the global workforce.

6. Expect a few decades of upheaval — Although AI will eventually create more jobs than it displaces, the next 30-50 years will be marked by confusion, instability, and unique challenges.

The transition won't be smooth.

I can really recommend you to read the whole edition from Allie, it was such a great read. Read it here.

This is the advice I share with people:

1. Learn AI and what it means for you and your industry - it’s so important
   

2. Build multiple income streams
   

3. Build your personal brand online - people follow people and this will just continue to grow as we see more and more AI everywhere.
   
   Audience and attention is power.
   
   Learn how to grab eyeballs 👀
   

4. Consider becoming a content creator - earlier this year Goldman Sachs reported: the creator economy could approach half a trillion dollars by 2027…. AND:
   
   50% of all professionals will have a portfolio career by 2030, according to an OECD forecast.
   
   We should all learn how to monetize our knowledge.
   
   Some jobs won’t be full-time jobs in the future.
   
   Avoid putting all your eggs in one basket.
   

5. Take this opportunity, and build something of your own. We’re living in extraordinary times. And the barrier to entry is lower than ever before.
