You're going to demand impeccably robust evidence, understandably evidence that probably won't emerge before 2027 or 2028.

And for those of you who think we're on the verge of summoning the machine god that will take us to transcendence, we'll really want to hit the accelerator pedal even further.

54% adoption won't be good enough.

The way I look at this is that we're seeing growing momentum with more and more positive results emerging, even if it remains early days.

That we are seeing stories of companies succeeding in applications and workflows that they couldn't have just a year ago or six months ago.

And of course, once those success stories emerge, that knowledge will spread as it always has.

So not ever, just not yet.

today I want to talk about jobs.

There are lots of worrying headlines about the job markets.

We've heard about big layoffs at firms like Amazon and other companies going into hiring freezes like Walmart.

We've heard that entry-level jobs are

under pressure from AI that the amount of graduate hiring there is, is going down.

So what should we make of this?

Is this artificial intelligence and its early effects on human work?

Or is AI just a convenient excuse for bosses looking to manage their costs?

To explore this, I've asked Ben Zweig of Revelio Labs to join me.

He is one of the more thoughtful founders and thinkers on the topic of the labour market.

And in this moment in time when the BLS, the Bureau of Labour Statistics, has gone dark and become unreliable, Ben's work at Revelio Labs is providing a private sector take on what's happening in the job market at

large.

So Ben, I hope you're going to be able to bring some clarity to this confusion and join me as we jointly explore what's happening to the world of work.
