Straight answers about AI and your career

Every method on these pages is one you can run yourself, on your own calendar, without buying anything. They are written out in full because a question deserves an answer before it deserves an offer.

• Which parts of my job can AI actually do?

  Job titles do not get automated. Tasks do. A practical test for sorting the work that can be handed over from the work that cannot, and what to do with the answer.

• I was laid off because of AI. What should I do now?

  The first move is not applying. Work out what you were actually being paid for, because the title you lost is not the thing you sold. A sequence for the first thirty days.

• How do I tell if my job is at risk from AI?

  Two signals that beat any published list of at-risk occupations: what your employer has quietly stopped doing, and how much of your week is specified before you start it.
