For all those overly excited about AI understand the down side could be greater than the benefits. You better be learning some new skills if you are young and not over 20 years into your career.

AI is expected to replace or significantly impact certain jobs, especially those that involve repetitive tasks, data processing, and predictable workflows. Here’s a list of jobs that AI is most likely to replace or heavily automate: High-Risk Jobs (Most Likely to Be Replaced)
