>A new study by [Chadix](https://chadix.ai/) surveyed 2,278 business leaders, entrepreneurs and professionals to reveal critical insights into how AI is reshaping roles and raising concerns about the future of work. It analyzed which types of jobs are most at risk and provides insight into which generation faces the highest risk of job displacement in the workforce.
>Results show stark generational differences in vulnerability to AI-driven disruption, with Millennials emerging as the most at risk due to their roles in industries heavily investing in automation. Business leaders (38%) say that Millennials face the highest risk of AI-driven job displacement.

All these surveys of “business leaders” are completely useless in terms of future trend prediction because they have no clue what they are talking about.
This is going to happen whether we like it or not, and it’ll affect more than one generation.
Can’t wait to see what crazy shit the boomers say in a few years when AI makes getting any role impossible.
Will we still be snowflakes who don’t wanna work, or that we just need to walk in and demand a job when nobody hires humans anymore in the first place.
Things are cooked for gen z, spoken myself as a millennial with gen z brothers still in college already feeling the effects of this and worried even their stem degrees are going to be considered worthless soon since basically nobody wants entry level roles anymore.
Who wouldn’t feel this way when layoffs are the normal and every company that can is grifting ai in any way possible while making it *known* they want to replace workers? Is it really that hard of a mental hurdle to hop over? Then what a shock that millenials are the ones to feel the most targeted when their generation has been habitually steamrolled by consequential economic events that usually started and ended with the same industries that are now grifting ai.
The next article will be *”Survey says: Millenials believe water is wet”.*
Vote for UBI, this isn’t going away.
Progress can’t be stopped, and we’re close to AGI, things are going to accelerate a lot.
People are notoriously bad at risk assessment and statistics; it should be twice as high as this
I prefer we vote on which field A.I. will take over 1st.
I will start.
Attorneys.
Yet population collapse is suppose make us work longer and require more hours in a work week.
Just in time for my body to not be healthy enough to handle a transition into the trades.
AI taking jobs seems unavoidable. My main question is what happens to “money” as a concept. Like money just becomes useless, even if you’re a mega billionaire. People lose jobs, stop consuming, stocks mean nothing, retirements mean nothing. Tangible goods will be more important for those that survive any uprising or whatever.
lol not my job. I’d love for AI to get a client to calm the f down when they’re having a tantrum and keep putting their housing in jeopardy after trying to burn down the building. If AI can do that, I deserve to be replaced
Millennials are going to be hurt the worst by this. We are trained in careers that predate AI, much of what we learned in school or trained for is obsolete. We didn’t even take a full credit computer course until I was at least a sophomore in high school. Computer teacher in 5th grade used to scream to the board of Ed about how computer class was a 30 min weekly elective and algebra was a full credit full time course. He was right.
All we will be good for eventually is a power supply for machines……
You all really overestimate what ‘AI’ can actually do. It’s only as good as the prompt it’s given. If you want to set yourself up for success start learning AI prompting. Also it needs something to learn from if we eliminate the human element for LLM’s they will just hallucinate more and more until they are useless and end up just spitting out gibberish.
That’s right! First we had to claw for jobs during a recession of 2008 and now we get replaced by computers. Do your worst, society.
So they make things so expensive that college seems required, people go into student debt but think “At least I’ll get a good job.” and a 2-10 years later that job is obsolete because AI will increase shareholder value. Cool.
What is the long-term thinking as to what jobs people will get after AI replaces them? How do these businesses and institutions expect people to buy their products (and in turn, support the economy) if their jobs are wiped out?
Myself and my entire editorial team including our VP were laid off because of AI. The content the company produces now is nowhere near what our team was producing (niche scientific writing on psychedelics). Now it’s pure clickbait designed to drive views for ad revenue. After three months of job hunting ive decided to go back to school for my masters and eventually a Ph.D. in a field that probably won’t be replaced anytime soon. AI is here, and the growing pains are going to suck, but hopefully something good comes of it, although my money is an AI powered mega-corporation style dystopia in the near future.
AI is like Big Data, it was gonna TAKE OVER THE WORLD. But it never really did. The AI induced layoffs right now are just regular layoffs that companies were gonna do anyway, now they look cool because they’re “using AI”. AI isn’t there yet. I don’t think it’ll ever be there.
Yes yes, we definitely need yet another almost cartoonish hurdle to getting things in life that were basic to most of everyone preceding us
Companies want candidates with tons of experience and perfect grades but are totally willing to replace them with AI that’s the equivalent of hiring a mentally-impaired eight-year old.
Nothing ever lasts long enough for us Millennials. The only constant we’ve known all our teen and adult life is instability.
Lol we are so fucked, like it’s hilarious how fucked we are, absolutely fucked silly
My personal risk is more tied to right-shifting governments defunding research
