The AI Job Apocalypse is Postponed. Here’s Why.

from This Is The Point · host Sheel Mohnot, Alex Kantrowitz

The AI job apocalypse was supposed to be here by now. It isn't. In this first clip from "This Is The Point", tech journalist Alex Kantrowitz and VC Sheel Mohnot dig into the numbers everyone expected to show mass layoffs -- and found the opposite. "The Economist" estimates AI has created around 1 million jobs while destroying roughly 200,000. So is the apocalypse cancelled, or just postponed? Alex and Sheel don't agree on the answer. This Is The Point: We break down the week's news, giving you perspectives and analysis at the intersection of tech journalism and venture capital.
