AI is Coming for Your Job. Now What? | Vlad Tenev | TED
As anxiety grows around what AI means for the future of work, technologist Vlad Tenev delivers a clear-eyed look at what happens when the majority of today’s jobs disappear — and why it’s not what you think. (Recorded at TEDAI San Francisco on October 22, 2025) Join us in person at a TED conference: Become…

Unboxing Apple’s New $549 AirPods Max 2 in Purple
At first glance, the AirPods Max 2 don’t seem like much of an upgrade from their predecessor. But when you factor in the improved noise canceling, sound quality, voice-calling performance and new features, they do seem to be about 20% better than the previous model. That may not seem like a huge difference, but it’s…

Seriously, Don’t Buy a Router Right Now
The FCC just banned the sale of foreign-made routers, and those banned routers will no longer receive essential security firmware and software updates after March 1, 2027.

robotics takes the body, intelligence takes the mind, the pursuit is to replace people. period. it is about replacing the core offerings of labor itself. There will not be “more jobs”. TED just lets anyone on stage don’t they. Zero research, zero evidence. Literally just a guy who wanted to hop up on the stage and had a little money to flash around. TED used to mean something.

11:11 Lots of them? You provide no evidence whatsoever. Why are you even allowed to talk?
Of course micro-orgs will be the norm in 10 years. But how is that a good thing? We still will have 30-40% of people with no commercially viable job. Either high UBI or a poverty plague.

Vlad is right. In ancient Rome and Greece, citizens had servants (slaves) to work while they were able spend their time engaged in politics, exercise, sports, arts, philosophy etc. In a few months – see CES – some of us will have robot servants so we can enjoy a similar lifestyle. Eventually most will too. There will also be folks that want to live a hunter gather lifestyle or be a farmer growing food like in the old times or hand make stuff. They might be good tourist attractions. Creative energetic people will create micro businesses using AI agent and robot technology which might be micro only in the sense that only they and maybe a few other people are involved but sales, earnings and asset value are large. Now a few crazy leaders could decide they want war and destroy it all but that is a risk we already have experience with in the whole human history.

The problem with these arguments is that there hasn’t ever been a technology that threatens every single job. There is no historical precedent for this. Just be an entrepreneur? How does that work when the AI not just implements ideas, but also comes up with them?

You guys underestimate math in the real world and overestimate it when it comes in different clothes like AI (which core is hardcore statistics and linear algebra)..
you really think a purely probabilistic engine can replace your deep insights ? 🤦♂️ Think again..
You guys give mathematicians low status in the social world and then why give extreme high status to AI although it utilizes the same tools but at the same time its much less flexible in thought, cannot differentiate between cause and effect and confuses correlations with causations ?

Anyone who doesn’t have a high enough IQ to understand the solutions to these simple Ai problems will project their lack of understanding through fear and anger. What you all call Ai-doomers is just another word for the simple-minded. If you really think a country can collapse so easily by something like automation, you need to go back to school and stop believing everything on the internet.
The ones who are already failing at life will continue to fail, the ones who have always been capable and smart will easily adapt. There’ll always be these two types of people in society. While some of you are wasting your time trying to scare others to drag them down with you, the ones who are naturally successful at life will continue to be fine. In the end, nothing of value will be lost, everything will be the same as it is now… the smart ones will survive, the ones who aren’t will continue to complain. If they aren’t blaming Ai, they’ll find something else to blame for their own short-comings.

Certainly not robots ffs. Sure the % of farmers is down compared to thousands of years ago but they are still very important. Also, computer programming jobs for outsourced to India anyways lol.

So what exactly humans will have to offer in the AI future? The only new job I hear AI is creating is the job of thinking how to replace a current job using AI 😂
@michaelazarov2065
January 7, 2026 at 4:07 am
Looking at history to predict future jobs is a valid approach to consider, and it’s a useful lens in many different cases.
But on its own, it feels like a weak argument. I was hoping for a broader perspective…

If most jobs got replaced by AI because of being better mentally and physcially.
The earth will become Eipstein earth. that is the only job left. To be an entertainers for the wealthy who don’t need us anymore.
Squid game or hunger games will be the reality of us.

With every other revolution, jobs were created. AI only has one purpose: to serve the elite. It’ll displace jobs without creating any new ones. Look at the job losses from Microsoft and other tech companies.

We haven’t faced something like this before. In the short term, it’s going to be very disruptive and negative for most of us for the benefit of the few, and that’s the trend in the US economy. Income inequality grows, the government. becomes more authoritarian, and executives kowtow to it. These folks will use AI to rid themselves of labor for their own benefit. Again, for the few. It’s not the buggy whip and car deal. It cuts across all industries, and it’s doing it at a quick pace. Look at the transfer of wealth to the top and the flat salaries of the hoi polloi for the last 40-50 years. I think you’re glossing over a lot.
Our problems are largely social. We have the wrong folks at the helm, who put their instrumental gains before everything and everyone else. As long as those types of folks run things, AI will just be a tool for their desires, which isn’t ours.
@UnsungLK
January 7, 2026 at 10:22 am
The only way people will survive the AI revolution, is if each of us has an AI that goes out to work for companies on our behalf, and we are paid for it. If millions lose their jobs who will buy the products these companies produce? AI being assigned to people and then having companies that sell AI additional experience will be a great market to go into in order for people to earn more, from their AI knowing more/doing more.

I don’t think so .
1. I designed and developed AI in the past.
2. I am currently electrician, and if this job ever goes wrong I will become woodworker.
Can hardly see how ai could replace me before 20 or 50 years.
@Benoit-Pierre
January 7, 2026 at 6:37 pm
Ai will replace only software jobs on short term.
Maybe some surveillance jobs when shiped in drones.
Machines did make jobs evolve since over 600 years. Value of salary and items always adjusted. Life goes on.
@aerodylluk2543
January 8, 2026 at 5:40 am
AI is the outsourcing of intelligence itself and its capabilities, unlike any other revolution in the past, will grow exponentially. We are scared because we have no idea when or what will happen when AI comes into its own.
The mentality here is that it won’t destroy it will just change. That is an extremely entitled and rose tinted opinion. The industrial revolution, though it worked out in the end, was awful for many if not most living through it. You are basically telling those alive today to just accept being churned under but it will be better for your children…maybe.
