The article discusses the impending crisis posed by artificial intelligence, predicting that half of white-collar jobs may disappear in five years, particularly affecting those entering the workforce. This loss is viewed not just as economic, but as a profound psychological threat, leading to feelings of uncertainty about purpose and relevance. The article stresses the need for proactive responses from individuals, businesses, and policymakers to mitigate potential waves of disruption. Without coordinated efforts, millions may face unemployment and social unrest, reminiscent of past economic collapses, but at a much faster and more global pace.
The threat of AI job loss is a psychological crisis, not just an economic one, driven by fear of lost purpose. Machines don't buy—people do.
Even in the most optimistic scenario, the disruption from AI will be enormous, risking long-term unemployment and economic marginalization for a generation.
