Are you preparing for AI disruption or are you already behind the curve without realizing it?
While hiring slows and layoffs remain low, AI is quietly carving out $1.2 trillion worth of human labor and you may not see it until it's too late.
In this Weekend News episode of Leveraging AI, Isar Meitis unpacks eye-opening data from MIT, PWC, McKinsey, and more, all pointing to a looming shift in the global labor market. The twist? Most of the risk is still hidden below the surface.
Whether you're a CEO, department leader, or simply trying to future-proof your team, this episode gives you the data, context, and strategies to stay competitive as AI transforms every corner of the white-collar world.
In this session, you’ll discover:
- The Iceberg Index: MIT's simulation of the U.S. workforce and why visible AI disruption is just the tip
- The surprisingly low adoption of AI among global workers — and why that’s both a risk and an opportunity
- Why entry-level jobs are vanishing — and what that means for workforce development
- How businesses are navigating 10–20% overcapacity while still starving for AI talent
- Why reimagining work, not just automating it, is the only viable strategy
- What the Claude 4.5 Opus and Flux 2 releases tell us about the next wave of AI capabilities
- A sober look at the flawed optimism in McKinsey’s and PWC’s economic projections
- Why AI fluency is now the #1 most in-demand skill — and how to get ahead of the curve
- Plus: How OpenAI and Perplexity just turned holiday shopping into an AI-powered game
