Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Richard Canfield arguing that AI itself won't directly take jobs but people who use AI will outcompete others; technological disruption is historical (cars replacing horse buggies), and rapid pace of AI makes timely upskilling urgent—either learn skills AI can't replace or learn to use AI as a force multiplier.

One of the oldest sayings in the AI space is that AI is not going to take your job, but people using AI will take your job. There's always going to be people who need problems solved. And if you can help people solve problems, you've got a business, right? Intervention of new technology has always had a very disruptive force in the past. You know, when cars came out, horse buggies, you know, disrupted that entire industry while those people went out and, you know, eventually maybe they found jobs in factories making cars or doing something else. And throughout history, this has always happened. Yes, jobs get disrupted. The people who learn new skills end up surviving. The dangerous part about AI is it's moving so quickly that it's not giving people the time to go learn these skills and upskill and catch up, because it's outpacing anything else we've ever seen in our lives. And it's scary. But it's only scary, I think, if you stay stagnant and don't learn either new skills that are unobsolutable by AI or you learn how to use it to where you become Tony Stark putting on the Iron man suit and become a superhuman.
