What does AI replacing knowledge workers first mean for your career?📉 Why 52 million U.S. jobs rated high for automation risk are held by people with bachelor's and graduate degrees, not blue-collar workers🧠 Why "human in the loop" is mostly corporate PR, and what Doug actually sees happening inside companies adopting AI⚡ How Harvey AI plans to end the billable hour in legal, moving into accounting next, and why entry-level professionals won't see those rungs on the ladder anymore🎯 Why curiosity, resilience, and perspective-taking are the skills 94% of tech leaders say will matter most, and how education is not yet teaching them🌐 Why AI agents are the real killer app, not chatbots, and what happens when the revolution arrives packaged as a friendly sales call💡 The case for becoming a "mentor, orchestrator, and architect" rather than the smartest person in the room
