In this episode, Kieren and Riku discuss whether AI is truly on the brink of taking our jobs, exploring the concept of "agentic AI" and how it differs from more traditional AI systems. They look back at key moments in technological history—such as the printing press and the computer—to illustrate how new inventions can displace workers, yet also create new roles and industries. Along the way, they discuss why certain tasks are surprisingly easy for AI to master, while others remain difficult, and propose useful “rules of thumb” to gauge which roles might be at risk. Tune in to explore the evolving landscape of work, the skills that remain valuable, and what a future with increasingly capable AI could look like.Birds for Scale, Smarties is licensed under CC BY-SA.Local Forecast – Elevator by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under CC BY.
