* The “AI 2027” report predicts that the AI boom we’ve been experiencing since January 2024 is set to surpass the Industrial Revolution in scale and impact.
* During the Industrial Revolution, hand tools were replaced by steam engines in just a few decades. And that farm your grandmother owned, the one the whole family used to live on? No, babes. The farm is gone. The entire family moved to an overcrowded city in search of better job opportunities.
🏭 The Industrial Revolution rewired labor, class, and capitalism at a wildly fast pace. Society completely transformed in a matter of decades. Making these IR parallels to our generation’s AI boom feels like watching history repeat itself, now with code instead of coal. It’s thrilling. And it’s terrifying, too.
* I’m encouraged to use AI at work, and I know it’s a powerful tool. ChatGPT helps me generate ideas and clean up my writing. Adobe Firefly saves me time in Photoshop. It’s extremely convenient—I get it.
But with this AI 2027 report, I’m curious what happens when the tech gets good enough to replace 50% of the workforce as we know it. Half of the people you know are no longer needed in their roles of expertise. So what does this mean for us?
