Why AI Won’t Steal Your Job (But Your Complacency Might)

Let’s be crystal clear: AI is brilliant at specific tasks. It can diagnose diseases from scans faster than a radiologist, predict supply chain snarls before they happen, and even write passable news briefs. But here’s what it can’t do: innovate out of empathy, lead a team through a crisis, or tell a story that makes readers feel seen. The jobs AI “threatens” are largely those that involve mindless repetition—tasks we should want to automate. You want to free yourself from hours of number-crunching or tedious data entry? AI’s got you covered.
