    In a terrifying admission that signals a seismic change in
    corporate America, the CEO of one of the biggest carmakers
    in the US has broken cover to admit the devastating effects
    AI will have on the workforce.

    While some execs have attempted vague assurances for American
    workers, Ford Motor CEO Jim Farley has predicted the rise of
    AI will take a sledgehammer to jobs.

    'Artificial intelligence is going to replace literally half
    of all white-collar workers in the U.S.,' Farley told author
    Walter Isaacson at the Aspen Ideas Festival last week.

    'AI will leave a lot of white-collar people behind.'

    Bosses have been cautious about publicly admitting the reality
    of how many jobs could be cut from their companies as a result
    of AI.

    That tide appears to be turning however, and Farley's comments
    are among the most transparent.

    It comes after Amazon CEO Andy Jassy announced future
    workforce cuts were likely as the company continues to
    implement AI in its operations.

    . . .

    They see it as a way to save lots of money.

    Of course BROKE PEOPLE won't be able to buy
    their products ......

    Ford moves blue collar jobs to
    Mexico, no problem.

    Ford loses WHITE collar jobs to
    AI? Wait a minute, those are actual
    people, you know!

    Someone will always have to be telling the AI what to do.
    Especially when it starts goofing everything up.

    Ummm ... the LLM 'AI's are only 'fair' right
    now - but they are getting better and better.
    So, don't bet on them needing a geek squad
    on call for TOO much longer.

    There are a couple other kinds of 'AI' that
    learn and think more like humans. Not as much
    money has gone into them yet so they're a few
    years behind, but just wait.

    I think the Ford CEOs comments were honest and
    chart the path his company is taking. Many others
    will follow suit. No CEO wants to take the blame
    for an "AI Gap" that lets others scoot ahead.
