A recent wave of layoffs in the tech industry has sparked concerns about the impact of artificial intelligence on white-collar jobs. Following Block’s decision to lay off 4,000 workers, a co-author of the Citrini AI report has spoken out about the ‘scary situation’ facing professionals in this sector.

The expert’s warning highlights the potential for AI to displace a significant number of white-collar workers, leaving many without employment. This trend is likely to continue as companies increasingly adopt automated systems to streamline their operations and reduce costs.

The situation serves as a reminder of the need for workers to develop skills that complement AI and automation, rather than competing with them. As the job market continues to evolve, it is essential for professionals to be adaptable and willing to learn new skills to remain relevant in an AI-driven economy.
