So that's another growth sector.
Simply care for the elderly.
There will be robots, personal companions.
We have this already.
But the elderly also will want human care.
It wouldn't surprise me if in the future, you know, 15, 20% of all jobs were elderly care.
That's a growth sector.
Will not be taken away by AI.
Luis Garicano had an excellent online essay.
He referred to what he called messy jobs.
Jobs where it's hard to explain exactly what the job is, but on a given day, you're doing 11 different things and it requires coordination and figuring out what you want to do next and getting other people to help you.
So Luis Garicano says, tell your kid to go into messy jobs.
They're hard to describe, harder to name.
But again, there's a real future in messy jobs.
I think just government lawyers will be a very significant growth sector for employment.
We need to write a lot of laws about AIs.
I don't even think they'll all be good laws.
And probably like many of you, I think the AIs will often, maybe always, could do a better job writing those laws.
I just don't think we'll trust the AIs to be writing all those laws, even though we probably should.
And it will be humans.
