"It's only been three years since OpenAI released ChatGPT into the world, and companies are already shaving down their workforces to make way for AI automation. This has left many employees clinging to their jobs for dear life-but according to Dr. Roman Yampolskiy, a professor of computer science and leading voice in AI safety, no worker is safe. Despite cab drivers and even teachers like himself saying they're irreplaceable, he said it's inevitable that the technology will take over."
"Professor of computer science Dr. Roman Yampolskiy predicts that 99% of work will be placed by AI and humanoid robots in the next five years, and there will be no "plan B" in retraining for a new job. On the plus side, however, he predicts that humans will have 60 to 80 hours freed up per week, thanks to not having to work."
99% of work will be performed by AI and humanoid robots within five years, eliminating viable retraining "plan B" options. Workers cannot simply migrate into new roles if all jobs become automated. Humans will gain 60 to 80 free hours per week as work disappears. Companies have already reduced workforces since ChatGPT's release, accelerating automation adoption and amplifying job insecurity. Estimates of job losses vary, ranging from half of white-collar roles to near-total unemployment, while leaders warn of widespread displacement without clear workforce alternatives.
