AI Won’t Replace Jobs - It Will Replace Industries That Fail to Adapt

For years, we’ve asked the wrong question: "Will AI take our jobs?"

The better question? "Who will control AI’s impact on jobs?"

Here’s the reality: AI is running factories, writing code, managing supply chains, and even making high-stakes decisions in finance and healthcare. And for $8/hour, companies aren’t just hiring people, they’re hiring robots.

The Rise of Robot Labor-as-a-Service

Forget million-dollar automation investments: companies are now renting robots like employees. Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) is already replacing manual labor in manufacturing, logistics, and retail.

Reality check: Companies like Formic and Rapid Robotics are placing leased robots in thousands of factories, doing the same jobs that once required human workers.

The Tipping Point?

A workforce is being built that never clocks out, never takes a sick day, and never asks for a raise. Are we creating pathways for humans to evolve alongside it or sleepwalking into an AI labor takeover?

This is happening faster than workforce policies are evolving. The industries that figure this out will shape the future. The ones that don’t? They won’t just lose talent, they’ll lose relevance.

Who’s adapting? Who’s resisting? Who’s falling behind? Let’s talk.
