“The head of the International Monetary Fund (#IMF) recently predicted that 60% of #jobs in advanced #economies will be #eliminated or transformed by artificial intelligence, “like a tsunami hitting the #LabourMarket”.

In #SanFrancisco, you can already see the early signs, as Uber #drivers compete with #SelfDriving Waymos, and #baristas are replaced by #RoboticCoffee bars.

Professional business services that support the #tech industry have also been negatively affected by the #layoffs. The *pressure to grind* in the tech world could be an early signal – a harbinger for what many other industries will feel soon.”
