"Will AI take my job?" Let's look at the actual data instead of the scary headlines.
While 85 million jobs may be displaced by 2025, 170 million new jobs will be created—that's a net gain of 78 million positions. Currently, only 14% of workers have actually experienced AI displacement, far below the 29-47% public perception.
What's Really Happening
- Entry-level, routine work is most vulnerable — 50% of junior white-collar roles at risk
- Workers with AI skills earn a 56% wage premium, up from 25% last year
- AI doesn't replace humans — it amplifies them
The real equation isn't "AI vs. humans." It's "humans with AI vs. humans without AI."
The Real Threat
Those learning to work with AI are becoming supercharged versions of themselves, while those resisting are becoming obsolete. The threat isn't the technology—it's your colleague who embraced AI while you hesitated.
The choice is binary: become AI-literate now or risk being outcompeted by those who did.
