I read this piece last week and I’m feeling pretty stressed. Genuinely curious to get peoples’ take on this outline by the AI Futures Project. It’s got me thinking that the general populace really isn’t considering what the implications of AI’s rate of improvement are going to be 5, 10 or 20 years from now… My honest perspective after using Claude extensively for the last 18 months and seeing how much more sophisticated, skilled, and capacity for nuance Fable has vs Opus 4: AI already give people the ability to automate most of the busy work associated with White Collar labor but it still requires skilled operators to implement. I wouldn’t be surprised if within the next 12 months we’ll be able to deploy an “automation agent” to do that work hands-free and tee up further integration of AI throughout enterprises. I don’t want to get too long winded here, but I think there’s a material chance that in a decade most white collar work either isn’t going to be done by people or in a small handful of cases will continue in a completely different capacity than it is today. We’re already seeing the early signals of this in the field of software development. For context, I had a mixed background across banking and corp dev and now run an AI Transformation consulting biz so I’ve only been in the weeds of AI since Jan 2025.
