AI's 'Thin Ice' Moment: Is Your Job Already Gone?

YouTube/Podcast · ~34 min · Podcast · YouTube · Substack

• Job audit framework: categorise weekly work into Theater (visible but performative, easily replaceable), Commodity (routine AI-executable tasks), Leverage (human-in-the-loop tasks that amplify outcomes), Durable (relational, judgement-intensive work AI cannot replicate).
• The “thin ice” argument: AI doesn’t need to replace entire roles to create vulnerability. Eliminating enough Commodity work creates instability during the next organisational disruption — roles that look secure today may not survive the next restructuring cycle.
• Proactive audit: map your own weekly tasks before your organisation does. The window to reposition from Commodity to Leverage work is narrowing as AI capability expands.
