I was looking at the top 10 jobs that are most likely to be disrupted by AI and I really do worry about this.
00:00:05
>> So the nature of the economy is changing for a long time. Blue collar work like
00:00:09
plumbers, electricians, brick layers has been devalued. But it could be in the next couple of years. These are the
00:00:14
roles that are elevated the most and that plumbers regularly earn more than lawyers. And for the last 25 years, I've
00:00:20
been building companies from scratch and I've been through the global financial
00:00:24
crisis and co but I have never experienced what we're experiencing right now. I've never seen more fear for
00:00:30
the disruption that is coming. And my real bare case for AI is that [music] every time you go on AI, your request is
00:00:37
going off to a big computer in a Walmartized building somewhere. And those big ginormous [music] computers,
00:00:42
they last 3 to 4 years before they need to be replaced. And this year ahead, we're going to spend 650 billion and
00:00:48
that could cause a massive financial collapse. That's the thing that I'm
00:00:51
worried most about. However, I've never seen more excitement for the opportunities that are in front of us.
00:00:56
So let's talk about in a world of AI what are the skills that survive. >> So I really believe that everyone should
00:01:03
build a little bit of a personal brand not like to become an influencer but position yourself with a group of people
00:01:08
who know who you are and know what you do and could enroll you in their opportunity. Second one if there's one
00:01:14
skill set that everyone should be learning at the moment it's how do entrepreneurs think? How do
00:01:18
entrepreneurs behave? What are the skills that make an entrepreneur [music] successful? And entrepreneurs just
00:01:23
simply follow six steps and we do it over and over and over again. and we'll
00:01:26
go through the six steps. >> So, are there any particular opportunities that you think that
00:01:29
anybody listening right now could pursue to make money? So I think one of the best opportunities is
00:01:34
>> that is such good advice that we don't hear
