22 New Jobs AI Will Create—And Do AI-Pessimists Have A Point?

In this episode of In the Loop, I bring you a very top-of-mind topic: how AI is transforming the job market—but this time, we’ll focus on the jobs AI will create. I unpack a recent New York Times article that outlines 22 new roles AI is expected to create, and contrast it with a powerful historical perspective on the Luddites, offering a surprising lens on the current AI discourse.This isn't just about technology—it's about people, work, and the way progress reshapes our lives. From fears of job loss to the deeper ethical and societal implications, I explore the big questions: Should we slow down innovation to protect current livelihoods? Or do we owe it to the future to push forward, even if the transition is tough? Whether you're anxious or excited about AI, this episode brings clarity, context, and a little hope.⏩ Episode Highlights (00:50) - Exploring the global tension around AI and economic anxiety.(04:50) - A little history: Did the Luddites have a point?
