Global employment exposed
IMF warned that roughly 40% of global employment is exposed to AI disruption.
Jeff J Hunter and Jonathan Mast are stepping onto the stage for The Great AI Debate. Both agree AI will reshape the world. They do not agree on what that reshaping will cost.
No full position dump here. Just the pressure signals, the collision course, and why this debate matters now.
This page is not here to reveal the full debate. It is here to frame the economic tension around it.
IMF warned that roughly 40% of global employment is exposed to AI disruption.
IBM publicly discussed pausing hiring for roles that AI could replace.
Salesforce reportedly cut more than 1,000 roles while continuing its AI push.
Microsoft, IBM, Salesforce, and others keep feeding the same question: efficiency for whom, and at what human cost?

Layoffs, automation pressure, executive efficiency targets, and corporate AI rollouts are stacking on top of each other. The debate sits inside that reality.

This page deliberately teases the fault lines without handing over the whole case either side will make on stage.
For operators, founders, marketers, and teams trying to understand what AI is really doing to the ground beneath them.
If you want the livestream, take the seat. If you want help building the kind of business that does not get caught flat-footed by AI, that path is here too.
