Why New AI Roles Won't Fill the Jobs We're About to Lose.US white-collar payrolls have contracted for 31 consecutive months. While tech optimists point to a projected 78 million net gain in global jobs by 2030, a staggering 95% of those new roles require a Master's degree or a Doctorate. The brutal reality? AI is creating new jobs, just not for the people whose livelihoods are being actively disrupted.In this episode of Influential Visions, host Nathaniel Schooler is joined by Nicolas Babin, former Head of Sony Europe and EU Digital Ambassador. Together, they look past the tech hype to expose how corporate automation is quietly kicking out the first three rungs of the career ladder , why an algorithm can never automate ultimate legal responsibility , and how you can stop spending your days behaving like a machine to stay entirely irreplaceable.Hit play to exit the white-collar squeeze.
