Why You Should Pay Attention to AI Developments and the Coming Change
The truth is that we as humans have always strived to evolve in everything — including creating entities and tools to serve us. Take AI: when you look at its development in the years following COVID, you'll see that labs dramatically accelerated their training pipelines, to the point where companies are now using AI daily across every function — marketing, design, programming, law, research, and much more.
Human roles aren't defined solely by the jobs that exist today. If we go back a bit to before the computer and internet revolution, the jobs people now do online — working from home for clients or companies in other countries — simply didn't exist. But after the technological revolution brought about by computers and the internet, new markets opened up, which significantly boosted the global economy.
The new system that will emerge from the latest AI developments — and that every company and lab responsible for AI expects to arrive — means a new global economic order must come into existence, not in any one country but everywhere. Because the jobs created by the previous revolution decades ago will soon fade, and we'll need to look at what the general direction will look like after that.
For example, in my studio I see companies coming to us with AI-generated projects, wanting us to review and improve them — because AI hasn't yet reached the stage where it doesn't need human review. So here, one of the emerging roles or new jobs is reviewing AI-generated company work to improve it, develop it, or correct its mistakes.
Similarly, there's reviewing articles, content, design, and ideas — or even training government entities, banks, private and public companies on using AI and improving their employees' productivity. Because what used to take a week at Ehab Studio as a company now gets done in literally a day, even if the client comes with just an idea and a budget but no clear plan or structured concepts — we can build it ourselves because the tools and AI available today help us as humans push beyond our natural limits and the learning curve that normally takes so much of our time.
Markets are currently unstable, which is why you won't find many job openings. Companies are thinking about their own interests and considering a thousand times whether they need a human or an AI, and whether to give that task to an existing employee to handle the second role — even if it's not 100% perfect — the savings are significant, and as AI advances that employee will produce remarkable results compared to someone not using it.
I'm not trying to scare you or stress you out — I'm genuinely advising you that the world right now is unstable, whether in jobs or in the developments happening daily. But my role here is to share with you, with full honesty and transparency, what I see and work with in America and its markets, or even in Europe.
Of course, some companies will continue to rely on humans for their operations, but the ratio won't be very large. There may also be strict government regulations requiring AI to play a secondary or supportive role for employees, to prevent the global economy from collapsing — because if that happens, there will be a temporary but severe and painful recession for countries that are unprepared and for people who lose their jobs and need to acquire new skills. (Don't wait until something happens to develop yourself and always be at the top — start now, so that if anything changes, you're already several steps ahead and can move faster than others.)
The world is changing and being reshaped. We're not at the beginning — labs and companies started this years ago. But now there's a massive influx of investment from companies and governments into AI to dramatically accelerate its development. We are, however, far from creating AI that resembles a human being — that would require trillions of dollars and many years of training. But humans still have the drive to get there, believing they need to build it to control it so it doesn't destroy them later. (A somewhat arrogant way of thinking, but one that greatly affects many ordinary people like me and others.)
In the end, I'll close these thoughts with this: the new world has been restructured since COVID, and remote work became available, giving people the opportunity to work from anywhere in the world for anywhere. But now the world is reshaping itself again — AI's takeover of some jobs or its impact on them is advancing at a pace many times faster than before, to the point where companies are now announcing updates weekly rather than every few months like in the past.
Be part of the new world — because we are compelled to evolve, and that is inevitable.
