The new jobs AI will create
Description
Watch: full video.A future-of-work argument that shifts the AI jobs debate from “which jobs will disappear?” to “where will new demand appear?” The useful idea is that AI may reduce the cost of many services, but cheaper capability can also expand access, make new service models possible, and create human roles around trust, accountability, translation, behaviour change, and follow-through. The video is valuable because it gives a structured way to think about new AI-era work without pretending displacement is not real.

- The displacement argument often assumes demand stays constant; this video argues that AI may also expand demand by making services cheaper, more accessible, more continuous, and more personalised.
- New roles are most likely where AI creates a service that was previously too expensive, scarce, complex, or operationally impossible to provide at scale.
- The durable human role is not always about doing what AI cannot do; it is often about whether AI-only delivery satisfies the need for trust, accountability, relationship, translation, presence, or behaviour change.
- The strongest example is continuous preventive healthcare: AI can monitor, summarise, triage, and document in the background, while humans handle meaning, escalation, reassurance, coordination, and responsibility.
