AI is moving fast. Should you ditch the job you love?

Summary: Are you worried that AI will take your job? You aren't alone. Researchers even have a name for this fear: Artificial Intelligence Replacement Dysfunction (AIRD). People with AIRD suffer from anxiety, lack of sleep, and depression because they fear losing their purpose in life. Many tech leaders say office workers should learn a trade, like plumbing, to stay safe from robots. But experts say you shouldn't panic and switch careers just yet. Physical jobs can be hard on your body (especially if you have bad knees!), and humans need to do work that gives them a sense of meaning. Instead of giving up, focus on the things only humans can do, like building trust and showing empathy. Your human brain and physical presence are still your best tools!
