Today, we ask the question most “AI-is-coming-for-your-job" beliefs fail to answer: is AI actually different from every technology panic before it? We take the fear seriously, the robots, the headlines, the Black Mirror comparisons, and put it next to the data: what past disruptions actually did to employment, what the latest research says is coming, and why the honest answer is neither utopia nor collapse.
In this recording, we’ll review:
- History’s pattern of creative destruction: What the Industrial Revolution and the rise of the internet actually did to jobs, and why “destruction” and “creation” have always moved together
- The counterweight already forming- Early stage but real categories like prompt engineering, AI training and evaluation, cybersecurity, governance and compliance, and the infrastructure buildout behind it all
- Garbage in, garbage out: Why AI is only as good as the information behind it, and what a classic supply chain problem reveals about AI’s real limitations
- Dystopian vs. optimistic, and what’s actually realistic: Unpacking “AI takes all the jobs” against “AI just makes everyone more productive” to land somewhere more useful
- Rethinking what education and evaluation are for: Now that producing the work isn’t the same as understanding it
And much more.
