Artificial intelligence (AI) could leave 99 per cent of workers jobless by 2030, according to Roman Yampolskiy, a computer science professor at the University of Louisville. The chilling warning comes at a time when companies across the globe are rapidly implementing AI systems to cut costs and boost revenue.
As per Mr Yampolskiy, a prominent voice in AI safety, even coders and prompt engineers will not be safe from the coming wave of automation that may usurp nearly all jobs.
“We’re looking at a world where we have levels of unemployment we’ve never seen before. Not talking about 10 per cent unemployment, which is scary, but 99 per cent,” said Mr Yampolskiy on [*The Diary of a CEO* ](https://www.businessinsider.com/ai-safety-pioneer-predicts-ai-could-cause-99-unemployment-by-2030-2025-9)podcast, adding that human-like intelligence or artificial general intelligence (AGI) will likely arrive by 2027.
I’m going to assume that this guy’s crack dealer will be among the 1% still employed.
How is ChatGPT going to cut my hair, pick up my garbage and make and deliver my pizza?
There’ll be plenty of jobs left, but they will be shitty and underpaid
Yes there is plan B, it’s called…..

Vote for UBI whenever you can.
The “Top Expert” we’re supposed to be taking as an ultimate authority on this is one computer science professor at the University of Louisville speaking on a podcast?
This is just poor AI 2027 fan fiction, we’re nowhere near AGI.
It seems far too easy to become labelled “Top Expert” despite obviously knowing nothing about what you are talking about.
2030 is less than 5 years away.
Even if AI was actually able to replace 100% of jobs, there are much more than 1% of jobs where legal and bureaucratic inertia would prevent that for more than a few years.
Also AI won’t be able to replace many people at all.
reading scripts in a telephone support call center or answering customer mails, yes, but most of the jobs that people think can easily be replaced by AI, actually can’t.
Even if AI could do 99% of all jobs within the next fives years (it won’t) companies aren’t going to be replacing people that quickly.
Does anyone seriously fall for this childish fearmongering shit anymore?
I get that hating on AI is the newest trend but come on now.
bruh, ai can’t even replace customer support, and it’s probably not going to get any better than this.
it’s been fun, but can we stop pretending this is anything more than a fancy chatbot or, at best, a search assistant?
