AI and automation have already taken over many tasks in manufacturing. While it's made some jobs obsolete, it's also created new roles focused on maintaining and programming these machines.
It's a mixed bag

My job is already affected in many ways. It's made teaching a lot more challenging because students are tempted to use ai without thinking for themselves. It's made research a lot quicker and more rewarding imo. Less time spent in the weeds and more time thinking big picture

For sure. I suspect, and hope, that AI will basically automate the process of drafting reports and papers from the empirical results we generate.
It already helps with coding up our statistical analyses. Next will be suggesting various robustness checks and other tests to improve the credibility of our results.

Interesting. This weekend I did all the R coding for analysis on block chain data by hand but there was a moment where I was thinking that I could probably have vibed this together. I did have Claude build me a precision logfile extractor to parquet because I couldn't be bothered to do that manually a couple weeks ago to get that data (and it works) but yeah... perhaps I wasted time.

China already has a huge lead in adoption of robotics. Combined with AI robotics turns demographics on their head and results in China gaining an insurmountable advantage over the west in manufacturing and general economic competitiveness.

Yes, I’m expected to leverage AI capabilities in my teaching. I’m also expected to guide my students to use AI responsibly
