The Great White-Collar Unclenching: AI and the Future of Work | a Reflect Podcast by Ed Fassio

Slack pings, calendar chaos, and the spreadsheet that might be alive—then AI shows up.In this episode, we cut through the doom and the hype to ask: Will AI automate most white-collar work—and trigger high unemployment? Using the latest credible research (IMF, ILO, OECD, NBER, and major field studies), we unpack why task exposure ≠ job loss, what the data shows so far (mostly small-to-null labor market effects), and where the real near-term pain may land (entry-level squeeze, clerical disruption).You’ll also hear our probability forecast: ~8% by 2030 and ~22% by 2035 for mass automation and sustained high unemployment—plus what could push that risk higher.Send us Fan Mail Support the showLISTEN TO MORE EPISODES: https://www.reflectpodcast.com
