And the International Monetary Fund estimates that AI could impact 40 percent of jobs around the world.

And that number looks more like 60 percent in what it calls advanced economies like here in the U.S.

If that turns out to be true, what will the future of work look like?

UVA's Anton Kornick says there are clues in our past.

What did that mean for workers at the time, though?

I imagine that transition wasn't easy.

When it comes to the AI revolution, is this something that's going to be benefiting like more so our grandkids than us possibly?

So there are people listening to this who actually live through another more recent technology disruption.

I'm thinking about the 80s and 90s with computers, right?

We work to get a paycheck.

In the future where we don't work anymore, how do we eat?

How do we get health insurance?

Pay for a place to live?

Are there things that people are talking about to sort of take care of that if this is our new future?

So when the AI revolution arrives, what will we do with all that time?

That's next.

I'm JQ, and this is Explain It To Me.

We're talking about our AI future, which, for a lot of us, is already here.

My fear is that, much like every other technological innovation, is that instead of working less and having more leisure time, we are just going to keep working the same amount and be expected to do even more.

So if AI really does change the way we work, does that mean we'll have more time to do what actually fulfills us?
