The humans will work with the AIs.
The AIs may even do most of the work.
But there will be humans with oversight and a kind of guarantee or you could say liability cushion.
Cybersecurity, this is discussed quite often.
Compliance as a sector.
I think just niche entertainment.
So there'll be a lot more music, art, sculpture, whatever, you know, cinema produced.
Again, a lot of the work will be done by AI, but not all of it.
The market will be very fragmented.
Costs of production will typically be much lower than they are today.
So a lot more people will be able to earn livings working with AI, doing niche entertainment.
Niche jobs, jobs you don't think about.
So like tracking down people's lost pets.
It's all sorts of weird jobs.
I have a running segment on the Marginal Revolution blog called New Service Sector Jobs.
