Listen "Ep. 2 - The Algorithmic Arms Race & The Bureaucratic Bot"
Episode Synopsis
Is your CV obsolete? This week on "AI Replaced Me," host Koby Ofek dives into the escalating "algorithmic arms race" in recruitment. We explore the hypocrisy of employers using AI to screen candidates while frowning on applicants doing the same, and ask if skills-based assessments are the great equalizer or a new way to tilt the playing field.Then, we dissect the job market paradox: why software developer roles are booming thanks to AI, while claims adjusters face decline, and how even 40,000 U.S. federal government jobs are on the AI chopping block. What happens when the government itself prioritizes algorithmic efficiency over human employment?Plus, China's $20 billion bet on humanoid robots to reshape manufacturing, Klarna's deep dive into an AI-driven workforce, major tech companies cutting HR jobs in an "AI realignment," and what the future of coding might look like when LLMs are your new junior partner. Finally, we unpack Marc Benioff's vision of a "digital labor" market and his skepticism about some of the current AI hype.It's not just about robots taking jobs; it's about control, access, and who really benefits from this rapid transformation.
