How AI is Revolutionizing the World and Creating New Opportunities with BrucE AI
Today is the first day of fall. And that means it’s pumpkin spice season.
Foods you usually take for granted are now flavored with the aromatic blend of cinnamon, cloves, allspice, ginger, and nutmeg. Everything from baked goods to beverages, candies, and fall-themed savory foods is flavored with pumpkin spice. And it’s not just food; pumpkin spice has become such an important cultural icon you’ll also find it in candles, air fresheners, soaps, and lotions.
How AI is Transforming Key Industries
It’s the same with Artificial Intelligence. AI is everywhere, from social media sites Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok to virtual assistants, Siri and Alexa, to search engines Google, Netflix, YouTube, and Spotify. AI is changing healthcare, finance and banking, e-commerce, and most creative industries.
AI is also changing this blog.
The AI Revolution: A New Era of Opportunities?
Over the last few months, I’ve written several posts about my experience with AI. Sam Richter and I hosted a webinar on practical uses for the technology (click HERE to watch). I showed how I use ChatGPT to improve my SEO performance. And I wrote about WWJD.quest, the AI site that provides biblically accurate answers to serious questions of faith.
Love It or Hate It: The Public Perception of AI
The other thing AI and pumpkin spice have in common is that no one seems neutral about these two phenomena. Most people love or hate them. Hate is directed at pumpkin spice because the newly flavored products taste and smell awful. The hate directed at AI is more complicated and nuanced but is often based on AI’s effects on human-powered work.
This is not a new sentiment.
Historical Technology Shifts and Their Impact on Jobs
During the Industrial Revolution (18th?– 19th?Century) mechanized textile mills, steam engines, and assembly lines significantly reduced the need for manual labor in agriculture and artisanal production. Traditional hand weavers and other manual laborers saw their jobs decline. At the same time, new technologies created factory jobs, machine maintenance roles, and entirely new industries like coal mining, railroads, and steel production, greatly expanding the workforce.

The introduction of electricity (Late 19th?– early 20th?Century) automated many manual tasks, revolutionizing manufacturing, communication, and daily life. Roles such as gas lamp lighters and manual laborers were reduced, while new industries such as electric utilities, appliances, and communications emerged, creating millions of new jobs and boosting productivity.
The advent of automation and robotics (Late 20th?– early 21st?Century) improved manufacturing, agriculture, and logistics efficiency. Factory workers, cashiers, and other repetitive task roles saw declines, while new jobs emerged in robotics maintenance, programming, and management emerged, along with new tech sector jobs.
How AI is Transforming Key Industries
From Social Media to Search Engines?
So far, it looks like AI will follow a similar path. Because AI automates tasks like data analysis, customer service, and creative work like writing or design, routine roles in customer service, data entry, and content creation are being impacted. At the same time, AI has generated demand for new roles like AI specialists, data scientists, machine learning engineers, and even ethics and compliance professionals focused on governance.
What AI Means for the Future of Work
The recurring historical pattern shows that while technological advancements displace some roles, they also create new industries and job opportunities.
Lessons from Past Technological Revolutions
The key is that while specific jobs are eliminated, the overall employment landscape expands, provided the workforce can adapt through reskilling and education. Technologies that enhance productivity often lead to economic growth, increased demand for goods and services, and thus more employment.

2 个月This is so cool. I just asked BrucE AI the same question I had asked you last year at Influence. Your AI prompted me to answer some strategic questions before delivering advice very similar to what you shared last year. Nicely done! I'm also working on "Pocket Allison" which is a similar concept.
