  • While many CEOs are pausing hiring while they wait and see what jobs AI could replace, one AI expert warns that nearly all roles are at risk. Professor of computer science Dr. Roman Yampolskiy predicts that 99% of work will be placed by AI and humanoid robots in the next five years, and there will be no “plan B” in retraining for a new job. On the plus side, however, he predicts that humans will have 60 to 80 hours freed up per week, thanks to not having to work. 

It’s only been three years since OpenAI released ChatGPT into the world, and companies are already shaving down their workforces to make way for AI automation. This has left many employees clinging to their jobs for dear life—but according to Dr. Roman Yampolskiy, a professor of computer science and leading voice in AI safety, no worker is safe.
