What Jobs Will AI Target First?

About this episode

The episode discusses which jobs are at risk from AI and how workers can protect themselves.

Few would debate the potential that AI has to upset the labor markets. However, people seem to have different ideas about which jobs AI will eliminate first, and which jobs are safe for now. So, which are truly at risk — and which aren't? Further, what can workers do to protect themselves from AI-related job cuts? In this episode of Trading Perspectives, Sam Clement and John Norris discuss the impact AI will have on the labor markets.
