Is there a significant risk that AI will take over all our jobs? Have you heard about the latest Elon Musk prediction?
That’s what we’ll dive into in the 60th Future Work. Here’s the scoop:
- During an interview with “talk show host” Rishi Sunak, Elon Musk predicted that AI would take over all jobs. The only reason to work, he said, is to feel like we have some kind of purpose.
- Two reports issued this year by Goldman Sachs and McKinsey, however, show that AI will only impact some jobs while others will even grow. Especially manual labor and creative jobs are safe.
- Futurists disagree about where AI will take us in the near future. Antony Slumbers says we should be unique humans, while Alexandra Samual notes that she can foresee most of even her job disappearing.
- Managers who want to stay ahead in the future of work should not only embrace AI themselves but also train their teams, as data shows it’s surprisingly the Gen Z’ers who feel they lack the skills to take advantage of AI.
I dive into all of this in this spoken version of the Future Work weekly newsletter.
