Will AI Really Take Our Jobs? The Data May Shock You
We’ve all heard the fear: that AI will steal our jobs. But let’s be real are the headlines telling us the whole story?
There’s a number floating around from the World Economic Forum’s 2025 Future of Jobs Report saying 41% of employers plan to cut jobs because of AI automation.
Not exactly reassuring, right? And it doesn’t stop there:
Bloomberg Intelligence says global banks will cut 200,000 jobs in the next 3–5 years.
Salesforce is putting its engineer hiring plans on hold for 2025 because of AI.
Meanwhile, white-collar workers are doom-scrolling through LinkedIn, wondering if they’re next.
But is it all doom and gloom? We explored more and found.
AI isn’t just taking jobs. It’s creating them too. The same report shows that:
70% of companies want to hire people to work on AI tools
62% plan to hire people who can work alongside AI
Looking ahead to 2030, we'll see two different trends:
Growing jobs: Those involving data, internet devices, and machine learning
Declining jobs: Tasks that AI can already do well
What does this mean for you?
Just like when computers were new, AI would probably create more jobs than it removes in the long run. But some jobs will change or disappear, and these changes might happen quickly.
Remember: Technology has changed jobs throughout history. While some jobs go away, new ones always appear.
The key is to learn how to work with new technology rather than against it.

Omi Launches Brain-Reading AI Device
When your group chat blows up about a $89 gadget that claims to read your brain. That time you know it's either the next big thing or Silicon Valley's latest fever dream.
Meet Omi (For those who've been too busy touching grass to keep up with AI hardware. Based Hardware just dropped what they're calling the "real friend" of AI wearables more on that spicy drama in a sec).
First things first, kudos to them for not making it look like a Star Trek prop... finally, a brain interface that doesn't scream "I live in a metaverse."
It combines constant listening with brain-interface technology to boost productivity. In the future, it hopes to read thoughts.

Key Details:
How to Wear: Omi can be worn as a necklace or attached to your temple. It can sense when you speak to it without needing a ‘wake’ word.
What It Does: The device listens all the time and helps by summarizing conversations, taking meeting notes, and giving useful information. Its battery lasts about three days.
Open Source: Omi already works with 250+ apps and supports AI models from OpenAI and Meta.
Future Plans: Right now, it can only detect intent, but the founder aims to make it capable of reading thoughts in the next two years.
Fun Fact: Omi was first called “Friend.” After another product with the same name launched, founder Nik Shevchenko released a diss track, calling his device “the real friend.”
Real talk though:
We've seen plenty of AI wearables come and go faster than crypto winters. The tech's cool, but there's still that tiny question of whether people are ready to stick AI devices on their bodies especially ones that want to read their thoughts.
Would you wear a device that could read your mind? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
Well, that's all the cool AI stuff I've got for you this week!
I hope you found these updates as fun and exciting as I did.
Did any of these make you go "Wow!" or give you ideas?
