hm interesting, always wondered what it means to lose jobs to AI, then overall spending drops because humans have less to spend and then the economic impact. Wonder what rules or policies will come into place to mitigate this. We can't have a work running on robots.

So many of my friends are worried about their roles as they are close to retirement, especially those in the private sector.  I imagine something similar making its way through the courts here, but I think the chances of success would be low.  I am trying to keep up, but sometimes it is hard.  Feels like there is a new hot AI tool every few weeks.

I totally agree even as a student who keeps up with technology, I find it hard to keep track of every new AI tool that comes outs and makes people lives easier. It also impacts what jobs the future graduates can have, which makes choosing a career hard because we are constantly wondering what jobs will be availabe by the time we graduate from post-secondary. 

Here is a useful article you can read if you get the time: https://www.library.hbs.edu/working-knowledge/enhance-or-eliminate-how-ai-will-likely-change-these-jobs

That Harvard study kind of puts into words what a lot of us students are already stressing about, the entry level jobs that most of us would be starting out in are the exact ones at risk. At the end of the day it feels like our future careers depend less on AI itself and more on whether companies actually use it to work alongside people or just to cut costs. I personally feel that people who "master" the use of AI will be the ones to replace many jobs, not just AI itself.
