In the dim streets of Victorian London, lamplighters once roamed, bringing light to the night by igniting street lamps one by one. Switchboard operators connected voices across cities, and milkmen left bottles on doorsteps before the sun rose. These jobs, once essential, have faded into history. Technology and societal shifts often render roles obsolete. But with every lost job, new ones rise to take their place.

Today, a new wave of change is upon us. Artificial Intelligence is not just a buzzword but a transformative force across industries. From manufacturing lines to data analysis, AI is replacing repetitive tasks and even stepping into creative fields. But does this spell doom for the workforce? Not necessarily.

Spencer Johnson’s book Who Moved My Cheese? explores how individuals react to change. The core lesson: those who embrace transformation, adapt, and seek new opportunities thrive. This same mindset applies to the evolving job landscape. Jobs may disappear, but by staying curious and flexible, new paths can open.

AI is not just a job-taker but a job-creator. Fields like AI ethics, prompt engineering, and machine learning operations are emerging rapidly. Creative professionals are using AI tools to enhance productivity, and entirely new sectors like virtual world design are gaining traction. The key to thriving? Learn to work with AI, not against it.
