In the US the AI job apocalypse has yet to hit, other than the tech sector. Yes, many jobs have been replaced, but it is a small part of the total job market and so we are not really seeing this on jobs data yet.
However, China is being crushed by 3d printers replacing much of their export market and this story reveals that India and Philippines will also be crushed by AI replacing the BPO jobs.
I have put this into the WW3 thread because WW3 will have war, famine and plague. The way to look at this war is Satan is offering mankind that has so far refused to receive Jesus Christ as savior "an offer they can't refuse". Take the mark of the beast or starve to death.
Outsourcing Jobs In India and Philippines Are Changing - And Workers Are Feeling It | Insight
These countries are the "canary in the coal mine"
Russia
Ukraine
China
Iran
Venezuela
Cuba
India
Philippines.
We can see the day approaching because massive unemployment leads to unstable regimes and that in turn leads to war. Massive unemployment also leads to slums, and the spread of the plague.
So yes, it is very possible that AI will replace some jobs and create new ones. However, the model of cheap exports that China had or the model of telephone service industry that India and Philippines had will both be completely replaced. For these countries with 30% of the world's population the shift will be catastrophic.
When Trump placed tariffs on imported goods a lot of people screamed about how that would damage our economy and ten years ago they would have been right. But all it really did was accelerate the move to 3d printers manufacturing the stuff locally. Ten years ago we didn't have that option, today we do. This is also why the US needs Venezuela oil supply to come to us, China isn't going to be manufacturing our plastic goods anymore.
Of course, this is why we are headed for WW3.
