With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, Professor Stuart Russell from the University of California, Berkeley, has issued a warning that almost all jobs, including that of CEO, may be affected by AI in the future. A study released by the McKinsey Global Institute predicts that up to 800 million jobs globally may be replaced by AI by 2030, while AI will also create 130 million to 230 million new job opportunities.

This study points out that the range of affected industries is broad, covering driving, logistics, accounting, software engineering, healthcare, law, customer service, translation, and content creation. Especially in the driving and logistics industries, the application of AI will greatly improve efficiency, leading to the disappearance of many traditional positions. Moreover, the application of AI in professional fields such as healthcare and law may also change the existing work structure.

Another study by the Brookings Institution shows that in the United States, AI will replace between 1.3 million and 2.4 million jobs in the next decade, while also creating a similar number of new jobs. Rob Thomas, an executive from IBM, said that managers who can effectively use AI technology in the future will have a stronger competitiveness, while those who do not use AI may be eliminated.

In this context, Russell emphasized that people need to re-examine the meaning and value of their lives. With the continuous development of AI technology, society must pay attention to retraining and psychological adaptation to help people better adapt to the changes coming ahead.
