Jevons paradox says that when a new technology disrupts the job landscape millions of people lose theirs because of it.
AI is going to make that happen on a scale we have never seen before.
The job you work in, your industry WILL be effected. How soon will be depend on how exposed it is, but it will happen.
When the world is under financial pressure, so is your industry, your boss. They're forced to make decisions based on economics. Loyalty counts for little. When they lose money and efficiency to competitors deploying AI they are forced to do the same.
And it might be more financially efficient to pay for your layoff than get behind and remain uncompetitive.
Admin and managerial roles. Creative industries. Legal and financial services. Data, analysis. Consulting. Web and graphic design. Health. These are just a few of the industries being hit, today. NOW.
And if YOU are a business owner you will (or should) be thinking the same thing. Because there is a one man operation out there without your overheads who is using AI to come after your business too.
Its already happened - the first one man, AI aided company has reached a valuation of $1B.
Most people aren't seeing the scale of this threat yet to them, or the scale of the opportunity. Virtually everyone is not doing anything to prepare for it.
Because the Jevons paradox says that when jobs are displaced, millions of new ones are created. Roles that never existed. Whole industries are birthed. And the world moves on.
So, you can't afford not to. It starts with learning how to set it up and then use it.
So you might not lose your job or business to AI, yet. But you will lose it to someone who is using AI, in ways you aren't, today.
You don't have to if you start.
