The IMF just issued a warning that
0:02
should wake up every office worker in
0:03
the city. They're calling the rise of AI
0:05
a tsunami hitting the global labor
0:07
market, and the first wave is already
0:09
crashing into Big Tech. Kristalina
0:11
Georgieva, head of the IMF, says 60% of
0:15
jobs in advanced economies like the UK
0:17
and the US will be impacted. We aren't
0:19
just talking about factory robots

They're reportedly preparing a massive
0:28
second wave of corporate job cuts,
0:30
potentially bringing their total layoffs
0:32
to 30,000 roles. While they're calling
0:34
it streamlining culture, it's no
0:36
coincidence they just committed a
0:38
hundred billion dollars to AI
0:39
infrastructure. They are swapping legacy
0:41
corporate roles for machine learning
0:43
power. The data shows entry-level and
0:45
younger roles are at the highest risk.
0:47
But here's the kicker. Investors are now
0:49
penalizing companies that don't have a
0:51
plan to upskill their staff. The year of
0:52
efficiency isn't over. It's just getting
0:55
started. Is your role AI-proof, or are
0:57
you already using these tools to stay
0:59
ahead? Let's talk in the comments. Hit
