Will AI take your job? This episode looks at what the evidence actually says about artificial intelligence, jobs and the future of work — from the IMF, World Economic Forum, Goldman Sachs, McKinsey and the OECD — without the hype or the panic.

Series 2 of Open MAInd begins where the AI question gets personal. Alex and Jordan examine what’s already documented — which workers are feeling the impact first, why this wave targets white-collar work, and the crucial difference between AI replacing jobs and AI transforming them.

Along the way: why 40% of employers say they expect to cut roles AI can automate, why the same research projects 78 million MORE jobs by 2030, why women’s jobs are almost twice as exposed (and the structural reason behind it), and three thought experiments — a paralegal in Munich, a customer service rep in Dublin, a radiologist — that turn the statistics into something you can feel.

What you’ll take away:

• What the evidence shows is happening right now — versus projection

• Which jobs are most exposed, which are most protected, and why

• The 170M created / 92M displaced numbers behind the headlines — and what they hide

• Whether this time is different from every past technology wave
