Critically, in the next 6 to 12 months, AI's coverage—and actual impact—will likely expand dramatically. Experts estimate that by the end of 2026, virtually all white-collar jobs could be theoretically mechanized. This means that within just a few years, the economy will be fundamentally transformed, with massive unemployment as the unavoidable consequence.
The Singularity and the Exponential Trajectory
The concept of the singularity—where AI self-improves to an unstoppable feedback loop—is no longer speculative. Since early 2025, AI systems have entered this recursive improvement phase, marked by exponential growth in capabilities. We are now living in the future, and the trajectory is clear: by 2028, most white-collar jobs will likely be eliminated.
