    I think all CEOs should be replaced with AI. Then the millions of dollars they would have made can go to the people that actually do work. :isay: :p

    AI can predict, but it can't think.
    I assume it would make a very excellent safe cracker (that occupation is not on the list).
    My better three quarters tells me that AI will be good at predicting lottery ticket numbers, horse/dog/camel races & GNP (govt jobs?).

    Ultimately, no jobs are safe because robots aren't consumers; paid workers are. And even those who think they won't be affected rely on the same paid workers.

    Current AI is far from real AGI.
    No one really knows at which pace engineers will continue developing it in medium-term, not to mention long-term. Some people predict some kind of Emergence breakthrought in near future, which will lead to and AGI. Some others predict slowdown around 2026, because there will be shortage of new data to train it.

    When it comes to very futuristic visions, where all the jobs are taken by AI: you can still buy some shares on stock market of companies involved in AI. In that dystopian scenario those shares will generate a lot of wealth, because you will kind of own AI. And it is good to have some savings and investment in broad stock market anyway. This is just an opinion, not an investment advice.

    The value of stocks go up thanks to better company performance, in turn based ultimately on higher sales of goods and services.
