Part 8/13:
While many associate automation with factories or manual labor, white-collar professionals are now primary targets. Degrees and years of experience no longer serve as shields. AI can process data, resolve issues, and generate content nonstop, all at a fraction of human costs.
For example, Salesforce’s AI agents handle millions of conversations, finding efficient solutions that previously required teams of humans. As a result, entire support teams are being cut, and peers in tech companies like Microsoft and Google are experiencing similar upheavals. The message is clear: no role is safe unless employees proactively adapt.
