In this impassioned monologue, Corrado Fontana warns that artificial intelligence will inevitably replace human workers, directly or indirectly affecting the clients of professionals, leading to widespread unemployment and hunger. He asserts that by 2030—a so‑called apocalyptic date—AI will be capable of performing tasks better and faster than humans, resulting in the loss of billions of jobs worldwide. Fontana draws a historical parallel to the advent of electricity, noting how early skeptics dismissed the new technology, yet entire sectors vanished rapidly once it matured. The speaker’s purpose is to alert the audience to the imminent, large‑scale disruption and to provoke urgency in preparing for or confronting this AI‑driven transformation.
