I think in Forbes magazine this week, which I don't read that often, but it listed all the jobs that are threatened.
And that's the fear, isn't it?
They reckon 300 million jobs are at risk through AI.
Globally.
Globally, for example.
It's hard to predict these things.
But I quite liked it because there's positive aspects as well.
Just like you said, we still need humans to do certain things.
But now they're predicting.
So, for example, in paralegal stuff, 48% of jobs are going to go.
In accountancy and bookkeeping, 86% of jobs are going.
They can, yeah.
This might be, Michael, the grunt work, you know.
And also in marketing, basic marketing, 48% of jobs will go, you know.
So those kinds of things are under threat.
I like that, Pat, because she lays out the good things and the bad things very clearly, Camilla, great journalist, you know.
The first thread is copyright breach, because obviously AI can read the literature of novels and write a new novel and you're breaching copyright.
The second is social media harming mental health and we all worry about that.
The third part is a big one, energy demand.
These data centres that are using a huge amount of energy.
