The result: 1.08 million workers affected and $48.9 billion in household income at risk each year.\nMost may remain “technically employed”, even as their incomes fall. Australia could enter a hollow boom: productivity, investment and GDP keep rising while the wage base supporting households quietly erodes underneath them.\nAI will create opportunities as well as disruption, but the warning signals are lighting up the board. What should workers do now? And how do we make the transition planned and intentional?\nChapters ➡\n00:00 Highlight Teaser\n00:30 Introduction\n00:45 The Impact of AI on Jobs\n11:21 Understanding AI Job Disruption\n17:22 Industry's Role in AI Transition\n19:57 Navigating the Future of Work\n23:14 The Upside of Disruption\n24:37 Wrap Up\nWatch and subscribe to the channel now as well as our substack and on your favourite podcasting channels at worthknowingpod.com","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/kLOyudmflklpLa-NLw5_OVigjIyc7rj5qEtrsj0bHtc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81NjFi/MmVkNzEyOTJhZWQx/NjE5ZjM1OTk2MjFk/N2Q3My5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
