Job Loss and Automation Anxiety
From self-checkout kiosks to self-driving trucks, AI threatens millions of jobs. While some argue new industries will emerge, the transition isn’t painless.
Truck driving: millions of jobs at risk if self-driving fleets scale.
Call centers: voice AI is already replacing thousands of workers.
Retail: cashierless stores are becoming reality.
The bigger issue? Society hasn’t figured out how to retrain or support displaced workers fast enough. The “future of work” feels a lot scarier for those left behind.
