AI Can’t Do Your Job. So Why Are Companies Laying Off Employees?
In this episode of I’ve Got Questions, I break down the rise in mass layoffs and organizations restructuring. Many headlines claim this is AI starting to take jobs, but that’s not really true. AI is involved in these decisions, just not for the reasons people think.
Whether AI can do your job or not (and it probably can’t) is likely irrelevant to the fate of the job itself. So I explain what’s actually happening in the workforce today, what we can expect going forward, and what we should be doing right now to stay ahead of it.
0:00 – Why these layoffs are happening
1:30 – How companies are reallocating capital toward AI
3:00 – Why organizations are becoming more flexible and startup-like
6:00 – How “anticipatory restructuring” works
9:00 – What skills will matter in the AI-first era
12:00 – Why full-time roles will evolve
16:00 – Why jobs are going away, but work isn’t
