Daily Inspiration: "Every single trend is both an existential threat and a transformative opportunity at the same moment in time!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
The buzz is that everyone is going to lose their job.
After all, that's what the media is telling everyone with breathless coverage such as this headline from the Washington Post: "ChatGPT took their jobs. Now they walk dogs and fix air conditioners." The subheading? "Technology used to automate dirty and repetitive jobs. Now, artificial intelligence chatbots are coming after high-paid ones."
This is the topic I took on two days ago when five Chicago area contractor union organizations had me in for a packed session on the impact of AI on the construction industry. Known as MARBA (the Mid-American Regional Bargaining Association), the organizations that participated in bringing me included the Great Lakes Construction Association (GLCA), Midwest Wall & Ceiling Contractors Association, Chicagoland AGC, the Mason Contractors Association of Greater Chicago, and the Underground Contractors Association.
Think about what these folks have been hearing - that AI is going to doom the typical construction worker, and that robots will be doing all the work. It's all a part of the hype and hysteria that surrounds AI, so let's take a look at how I took that topic on during my talk, by going through the slides I shared.
