Listen "AI Isn't Going to Steal Your Job"
Episode Synopsis
The headlines say AI is taking everyone’s jobs… but the data doesn’t agree.
In this episode of Leading Change in the Wild, I break down a new report from Yale’s Budget Lab that challenges everything we’ve been hearing about AI-driven disruption.
Here’s what the data actually shows:
- Generative AI is shifting jobs at the same pace as past tech waves like the internet and computers
- AI adoption is slowing among large enterprises because ROI isn’t matching the hype
- The biggest “disruption” is happening inside the tech industry itself, not everywhere else
- We’re still nowhere near the workforce shifts of the 1940s and 1950s
So what should leaders do now?
Invest in upskilling. Focus on digital literacy. And help your teams prepare for how AI will change their work — not if it will replace them.
