The AI revolution is already disrupting jobs across multiple industries, with technology that seemed like science fiction just months ago now becoming reality. Professor Stuart Russell's BBC Reith Lectures from 2021 offer a measured, academic perspective on AI's impact that predicted many developments we're now witnessing without hyperbole.

• IBM recently laid off 8,000 HR staff as AI takes over cognitive tasks
• UK graduate recruitment down 67%* as companies can use AI for entry-level tasks (*scroll down for a clarification on this stat)
• AI is affecting cognitive jobs now but will soon impact physical trades too
• Agricultural technology from companies like John Deere demonstrates how AI is transforming traditional physical work
• Three roles will likely survive: innovators solving complex problems, automators building AI systems, and human-AI performance psychology coaches
• The last defendable human skills will be helping other humans optimize their brain states
• High-charge brain states enable complex thinking that AI cannot yet replicate

We now have our AI Era Leadership Accelerator, where we support people to become AI era leaders who are future-proofed and in-demand experts. Check out the link beneath this podcast for more information about our monthly challenge programme, or contact us through our website.

*Graduate job listings in the UK have fallen by 67% since 2019, with AI playing a major role in that decline. While economic pressures and hiring slowdowns have contributed, experts estimate that 30–50% of the drop is directly linked to AI and automation reshaping entry-level roles — especially in sectors like finance, law, consulting, tech, and media. As routine graduate tasks are absorbed by AI, employers are hiring fewer juniors.
