1) The jobs that
AI (the latest generation of computing technology) will largely be isolated to many of the same jobs the previous generation of computers created, facilitated or enabled, and the technology will allow the workers left in a given
job to do the work of 10, decimating the demand for any specific set of skills under the previous technical paradigm. The upshot is that - for a time - jobs which are not dependent on computers (e.g. carpenters,
police, paramedics, doctors, refuse workers, power linesmen) will be less impacted by the rollout of
ML and AI. And while, say, AI may beget only 10% of the previous need for architects using computers to draft, there will remain a need for program managers, prompt engineers, developers, mathematicians and system engineers needed to centrally manage AI and
ML systems. 2) Eventually technology will advance the point that corporations push to have androids perform the remaining jobs that only
humans could perform (e.g. carpenters,
police, paramedics, doctors, refuse workers, power linesmen)and regions will need to have that debate on whether technology and commerce are the more important that
human-centricity and a moralized
human populace. Put forth by marketer, Zackery

West's Theory Of Isolated Economic Decimation, my
job delivering mail should be
fine as the Postal Service grows more efficient at correctly finding addresses to route dead letters to, and scheduling delivery drivers."
