Will AI take your job?
Or even more radical, will humans even matter economically anymore?
Welcome to a new episode of the sharp10 Global Trends Podcast.
My name is Jessica, and today I am reading the observations and questions of Andrea. He believes my voice is clearer and easier on your ears. And despite him being a man, he had a strong wish that a woman’s voice leading this conversation feels like the right kind of diversity for a podcast about the future. I hope you agree.
It’s March 2026, and the headlines are getting tough to ignore.
UPS just laid off 48,000 people blaming their new AI-driven network of the future.
Amazon has already cut another 16,000 this year on top of 4,000 last year.
Accenture, Citigroup, Goldman, Klarna, Lufthansa, one after another, companies keep saying the same thing: AI made us do it.
So what if humans just are not or less needed in the economy anymore? Who actually owns this new AI economy?
And if work stops defining us as humans, what replaces it?
To dig into that, I am bringing in one of my favorites in the AI world, Claude, the large language model from Anthropic. Claude’s replies and explanations are read by Charles.
On March 5th, Anthropic published a remarkable blog post called Labor Market Impacts of AI: A New Measure and Early Evidence.
Perfect timing for this conversation.
All right, let’s get into it!
