It's fast, lightweight protection that works across all my devices without slowing me down.

If you need another reason to switch, get this – WebRoot Essentials recently ranked number one in independent Passmark performance studies against nine other brands, like Norton, McAfee, and even Microsoft Defender. The study found that WebRoot Essentials scans six times faster, uses far less memory, and takes up 33% less space on your computer.

Let's talk real numbers. I'm Kim Commando for NetSuite. AI is here and companies using it are pulling ahead. If your revenue exceeds seven figures, get their free guide, Demystifying AI, at netsuite.com. Last week, 50% of all American adults used AI for either work or personal use. Half the country. And this is a product that didn't exist for the public four years ago.

86.6 - 108.979 Kim Komando

But that's not the number that should grab your attention. A new study from the respected pollster Ipsos surveyed 2,000 American workers. Their findings? AI has already replaced or taken over the work of roughly 20% of full-time American jobs. That shouldn't shock anyone paying attention. It's also exactly why pushing minimum wages higher across the country.

And one of the best kept secrets to looking and feeling amazing is collagen. You see, as we age, our bodies naturally produce less collagen, which can lead to wrinkles, thinning hair, brittle nails, and just feeling less flexible than we used to.

Chapter 2: What percentage of American jobs has AI replaced?

213.365 - 234.695 Rochelle

And at the moment, I didn't think too much of it. I was put on the spot, so I didn't address it there and then. So I went home, and I spoke with a couple of friends and family members including a particular friend, and I addressed this issue with them. I was like, what do you think about this comment regarding the hate speech? And this particular person mentioned, that's a powerful comment.

0

234.735 - 252.271 Rochelle

And I was like, no, it's not. This is hate speech. That was hate speech, and it's a racial comment. And she blew it out of proportion and state and express. You don't think I can recognize racism? And I was like, no, I was trying to pacify the situation. What was the comment?

0

252.551 - 253.412 Kim Komando

What was the comment?

Chapter 3: How has AI usage changed among American adults?

256.331 - 264.49 Rochelle

You need some white man's confidence. And somebody that is a black lady, I believe I have enough black woman's confidence.

264.69 - 268.299 Kim Komando

Yeah, for sure. Especially, I mean, you're a doctor. Hello. Thank you.

0

268.66 - 284.631 Rochelle

Yes, thank you. And with that said, the person, which was my friend at the moment, hung up the phone and I texted her. I was like, no, I think you've been here longer than I have. You experienced more racism than I have. But, you know, let's talk it out. Whatever. We haven't spoken since.

Chapter 4: What does the study from Ipsos reveal about AI's impact?

284.965 - 300.257 Unknown

So just so I'm following you correctly, when you were talking to your friend and retelling the story, you basically were trying to push it aside. Like this is, I'm just telling you something that happened in my day. And she took it as, you need to take this to the next level because this is racism.

300.237 - 321.567 Rochelle

explaining myself about this comment from the medical doctor that I was doing rotation. And she called me out, and I answered the question. Some of the questions I answered, and she put me on the spot. And I didn't explain everything to her. And she spoke to me. She was like, speak up. You need some white man's confidence. That's her little motto. That's her slogan.

321.928 - 336.506 Rochelle

Okay, and so what's happening now? So what's happening now is that I'm experiencing a lot of cyber harassment. It's identity theft and harassment in general. I'm blocked from several of my accounts.

Chapter 5: Why are minimum wage increases affecting job availability?

336.706 - 347.178 Rochelle

My website has been down several times. My phone calls have been intercepted. My study has been interrupted. I'm studying for my board and internet will just go down.

0

347.218 - 351.203 Kim Komando

So who do you think is behind all this?

0

351.436 - 359.687 Rochelle

I do believe it's the individual that I had the verbal altercation with on the phone. Well, she was the one.

Chapter 6: What advantages does AI have over human workers?

359.747 - 363.873 Rochelle

She got upset. And I believe it came from malicious intent, like jealousy.

363.953 - 367.638 Unknown

Do you have any evidence that would pinpoint them being the person doing this?

0

368.239 - 372.763 Rochelle

Well, I have what's called a business. And I have what's called my medicine framework.

Chapter 7: What are the potential consequences of AI on employment?

373.044 - 389.998 Rochelle

My medicine, I play on word, the acronym medicine, and the M stands for moderation. I noticed when I logged in that was changed to mindfulness. E remained the same for exercise. D for divine trust was changed to diet. I was omitted, and there's a reason for this. I...

389.978 - 418.082 Rochelle

sometimes slur my my speech with i'm british caribbean so i say medicine instead of medicine and that was omitted clean water was changed to connection i was for include sunlight that was changed to information nutrition was changed to noticing and enough rest was changed to environment And this was a sub, I believe it was a subliminal message saying, be mindful of your environment.

418.223 - 442.092 Rochelle

Notice there's, you know, there's a connection with your information. And when I put all of this together and my Anki card and the person getting upset and haven't spoken since, when I saw other things, I was just like, you know what? I believe this individual. And a conversation that went on between my mother and I, I would get harassing text messages from the same person.

442.831 - 447.878 Rochelle

and the state that this person, that I met this person. I used to live there also.

447.898 - 455.748 Kim Komando

All right. So you have all this evidence. Have you taken it to the police, or what have you done with it?

456.189 - 461.035 Rochelle

Yes, I reported it to the police. Cut a long story short, eventually the case was closed.

461.476 - 465.121 Kim Komando

And why did they close the case? What reasoning did they give?

465.141 - 479.144 Rochelle

They did not think it was fraud, but there was fraud. My account, my... Grammarly account, my bank account, my Uber account. I don't know what happened. Uber was charged.

479.304 - 482.249 Kim Komando
