Episode 3 : Will AI take our jobs? Essential skill to teach kids

In this episode, we explore Reeta's 'viral' Reddit post predicting mass unemployment in white-collar professions and the arts by 2030 due to AI. As you can expect, a lot of people on the internet did not agree. We draw on our long history working in the arts and in white collar jobs to unpack the thinking behind the prediction, address some common counter arguments against AI and cognitive biases that is stopping people from seeing the 'writing on the wall'.  The discussion covers the role of AI in transforming creative processes and white-collar jobs, the limitations and potential future advancements of AI tools, and how society can prepare for these changes. We explore the history of technological disruptions in the art world, the concept of Universal Basic Income (UBI), and propose an innovative idea for equitable AI development as well as sharing the spoils that will come from AI - One for all aspiring AI founders to note! #equityfortrainingThis conversation aims to spark awareness and action around the impending tidal wave of AI-driven changes. We also discuss the implications for education and what we should be teaching our kids if traditional jobs no longer exist.
