Top AI researchers are warning that the AI revolution is set to imminently reshape the employment landscape. Unlike past technological shifts, AI automates intelligence itself, putting jobs from content creation to data analysis at risk. Freelance jobs requiring basic writing, coding, or translation are disappearing across job boards like Upwork, with postings in areas where generative AI excels dropping by up to 21%.

This warning comes amidst increasing discussions on June 22 and June 24.
