How is AI transforming the workforce today?
AI is already transforming work, one delegated task at a time. If the transformation unfolds slowly enough and the economy adjusts quickly enough, the economists may be right, we will be fine or even better. But if AI triggers a rapid reorganization of work, compressing years of change into months, affecting roughly 40% of jobs worldwide, as the International Monetary Fund projects, the consequences will not stop at the economy.
It's one of those issues that touches all aspects of a civilization. And the civilization that we have is letting us down. So it starts with the economists who really are restrained by the data they have. And the data they have right now says there's no evidence that AI is yet affecting the labor market. And some economists say, well, we should plan in case it does, right? Some don't. The CEOs who were in charge of, you know, the Fortune 100 CEOs who were in charge of a lot of America's workforce were really sounding off about a year ago about, like philosopher kings about AI and their theories of what it was going to do. And then all of a sudden they stopped talking.
What are the economic implications of rapid AI adoption?
Why? Because I think they realize from their PR teams, hey, you know, when you talk about what might happen to America's workforce, it doesn't sound great and you don't want to be associated with that. So maybe we should stop doing that. And so all at the same time, that stopped. I did talk to a lot of people on background, a lot of CEOs who say, look, I love my workforce. Wall Street is going to insist after years and years of investment in A.I., that I show some results, and if the AI magic miracle isn't here, the results will be cutting costs, and those costs will be cut now. And then on the sort of last leg of this little triathlon, you have politics. And so historically, when big disruption comes to the most important thing, American jobs, the right and the left get together and figure out, well, for our own political self-preservation, we better have a plan.
And what I discovered when I talked to America's political class is that Not only do they not have a plan, not only are they ignorant of AI, they actually think that the current federal plan of just, let it go, it's going to work itself out, is fine. With two exceptions. On the left, Bernie Sanders, who's written a really ferocious report about what we should be demanding from companies and from government for the future of the American workforce. And on the right, the person who said to me multiple times, I agree with Bernie, Sanders was Steve Bannon. And so when you get those two political forces aligned, you're going to see change and disruption. And so what I came away with is this is the most important issue in American culture that no one is talking about.
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. I got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people like that go to share the big lie? Mega media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bann. It's Thursday, 12 February, in the year of our Lord, 2026.
Brendan Steinhauser is with us. Steinhauser is with us and Rosemary Jenks. Brendan, I've got a... hand you a compliment, well-deserved, you and a handful of others.
Why did CEOs stop discussing AI's impact on jobs?
In that cold open, he said, we went through a period where the philosopher kings of AI, and that's the leaders, the four horsemen of the apocalypse, the four labs, the four advanced labs, I think, would get out and make these pronouncements of what AI was going to do and how great it was going to be. I mean, Elon's still doing it. Elon's telling us that the only way out of here of the highly leveraged bet is robots.
