Listen "Jobs in the Age of AI —EP21"
Episode Synopsis
Human jobs involve more than just tasks; they require standing behind facts, concepts, and fairness—qualities a machine cannot yet fully provide or be held accountable for. Despite common laments about job displacement, in this episode of AI Ascent with Dr. Jonathan Luckett, we take a deep dive that asserts that while AI will displace millions of jobs, it is also expected to create new roles, with 11 million new jobs projected by 2030. These new opportunities will primarily emerge in three critical areas where human capabilities remain indispensable: fostering trust through roles like AI auditors, translators, fact-checkers, compliance officers; facilitating integration of AI into business needs through roles like AI integrators, plumbers, assessors, trainers, and personality directors; and leveraging human taste to make creative and aesthetic decisions, steering AI to produce compelling outcomes in fields ranging from creative industries to human resources and civil design. Ultimately, the deep dive suggests that in an AI-abundant future, humans will become designers of their AI future, focusing more deeply on goals, vision, and entrepreneurial innovation, rather than rote tasks.
