BONUS EPISODE: AI's Current Impact on the Job Market as of March 2026

This BONUS EPISODE goes deep on one of the most important questions in AI right now — what is actually happening to jobs? Anthropic's research team published a brand new study introducing a metric called "observed exposure," which tracks not just what AI can theoretically do, but what it's already doing in the real world. Computer programmers top the list at 75% task coverage, followed by customer service reps and data entry workers. The headline finding — no mass unemployment spike yet — sounds reassuring, but buried in the data is a more concerning signal: hiring of workers aged 22 to 25 in AI-exposed fields has already dropped 14% since ChatGPT launched. This episode breaks down what the research actually means, which jobs are most at risk, and why the window to prepare may be narrower than most people think.
