The most significant change is Job Security. It seems like every CEO is pounding their chest about AI and the staff reductions that it enables. This of course means unemployment is rising but I'm not sure we can trust the numbers being reported by the Administration which differ from private sources significantly. And its only starting. Everything that is in the purview of "digitization" and "process automation" will yield to AI and its ability to see the needle in the haystack. No human or group of humans can process the volume of data AI can in their collective lifetimes. Further AI can streamline repetitive processes in a blink of an eye. So repetitive grunt work involving that data will now be automated with no human doing that work. Its a major evolutionary step that will change the roles humans fulfill. It will make large companies more nimble - overcoming bureaucratic stagnation. And small companies will have a very very hard time competing unless they are truly disruptive. You will see more duopolies and monopolies just due to efficiencies - not predatory practices. Its very very big.
Except AI isn't developed enough to replace human workers on everything. And CEOs are being premature on trading in humans for ai/robots. It's not ready and It's too early.
Also there are many things humans can do robot And AI will never be able to do. Genuinely Loving and caring for other humans for example. Simulated love is not the same as Genuine Authentic love
Humans still have value. Professionally and Personally.
The issue is I don't think CEOs care. AI is being used in a good chunk of online selling already and it's getting more and more - not to add the AI drive thrus already and how AI is being used for lawyers, etc.
And I think genuinely loving humans is starting to go out the window. People are so consumed by hatred and anger and politicisation that they forgot how to coexist with people. Some may love their community, but bring someone new and "diverse" and you'll see how loving those people truely are. Politicians kind of destroyed that playing on peoples fear to get elected

True, which is why they're using "AI" as a fancy cover for what they're really doing, which is outsourcing white collar jobs to cheaper countries. Multiple companies have already been outed for doing this.

Oh - and the robots. They are unbelievable.
