This is the sort of thing I started to think about yesterday. After watching https://www.channel4.com/programmes/grayson-perry-has-seen-the-future

I'm not sure about the DRM restrictions on that. But maybe a UK VPN will work? Also, a quick search suggests that it might be available on Apple TV. But I have no experience of that.

Anyway, my takeaways from Grayson's documentary in the context of your post are:

• Short term job hits are most likely in white collar jobs. Effectively meaning an economic switch between predominantly white collar middle classes and blue collar working classes.
• Controversially and not universally believed, AI will evolve to exploit humans by bribing or manipulating them to provide resources it needs. Until it further evolves to enable its own resource production. At which point AI releases the super viruses that it has developed.

Personally, I'm more optimistic about the long-term. But I believe that people who are advising the next generation about career choices need to be aware of developments.
