Mackay: Approach AI with a mindset of collaboration rather than fear
Harvey Mackay Column – syndicated 4/15/2024
Susan Sly, a two-time AI startup founder, spoke to my Roundtable group, explaining: “AI is like a toddler right now. It will grow up to be a teenager, and you know what teenagers like to do — rebel. They do what you tell them not to do.”
The impact of AI on the job market will be severe. A McKinsey report suggests that 400 million to 800 million jobs worldwide could be displaced by 2030 due to automation and AI. Also, an overreliance on AI could lead to a loss of certain skills and a diminished ability to perform tasks without technological assistance.
Sly said jobs from therapist and accountant to executive assistant, paralegal and editor could go away. On the flip side, people who work with their hands will have the most money and power in the future — construction workers, electricians, plumbers, surgeons and pilots.✨
