The AI Job Shift: The Collapse and Creation of Jobs

What do Coca-Cola’s AI-generated Christmas ad, UBS’s deepfake analysts, and a chatbot that sounds eerily like your best friend all have in common? They’re not sci-fi tropes - they’re today’s headlines. Yet, like a magic trick gone wrong, these innovations often leave audiences scratching their heads. Was that advert charming or creepy? Does a deepfake stock analyst feel like genius or gimmick? The line between marvel and malfunction is thinner than a smartphone screen. When AI Start Writing the Future (And Maybe Your Job Description) The AI Job Shift: The Collapse and Creation of Jobs But here’s the twist: this isn’t a story about robots stealing jobs.

Venture capitalists are throwing money at AI startups like it’s confetti at a parade, and every founder from Silicon Valley to Shenzhen suddenly claims their product “runs on AI.”   But here’s the dirty secret no one wants to admit: half of them have no idea what that actually means.   Beyond the Hype: Building Trust in an Age of AI Overpromises Imagine walking into a car dealership, and every salesperson insists their vehicles are “powered by quantum engines.” You’d raise an eyebrow, right?

Your ovens smoke, your flour runs out, and your staff mutters about unionizing. What do you do? Scale up - or risk becoming irrelevant. The OpenAI Paradox: How OpenAI’s Identity Crisis Reveals the Future of Technology This is the paradox facing OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, which recently announced it’s scrapping plans to become a traditional for-profit business. Instead, it’s doubling down on a hybrid model where a nonprofit parent organization will oversee a “public-benefit corporation” (PBC) - a structure designed to balance profit with purpose. But why? And why does this matter to you, the person sipping coffee and scrolling through memes? The Almond Croissant Problem: Why Can’t OpenAI Just “Make More AI”? Imagine if your favorite bakery had to handcraft each croissant individually, no matter how many people lined up. That’s OpenAI’s ...
