Part 3/10:
The first phase, labeled Early Disruption, involves companies experimenting with AI in low-risk areas such as creative and administrative jobs. Because these roles are often considered "forgivable mistakes"—losses that don't threaten lives or major liabilities—companies feel more comfortable integrating automation here first.

The speaker underscores the importance of immediate solutions like reduced workweeks with full pay, community ownership programs, retraining initiatives, and innovative experiments that serve as economic bridges to sustain social stability during this turbulent period.
