Part 4/11:
In a future where AI replaces human workers entirely, the traditional economy centered on human effort would become obsolete. McCoy highlights a provocative prediction: the full automation of jobs might occur as early as 2028–2030, years earlier than previously anticipated. This scenario raises the critical question—what will society do when work no longer exists as a necessity?
She emphasizes that as AI renders human labor redundant, a fundamental transformation in societal structure is unavoidable. This transition could be tumultuous, forcing society to reimagine wealth distribution, social roles, and purpose.
