AI Boom Rewriting Labour Contract | The Reason Why #NDTVProfitOpinion by @Swap_Kar
https://t.co/hzluZWNKRC

How #Samsung's deal with its workers in the semiconductor division will change how corporates and governments manage #AI disruptions.

It is creating (and will create even more) disparities between AI and non-AI #jobs/workers/#skills. And that will be a pain for everyone.

It was whether #China could steadily close the gap while becoming less exposed to external disruption. On both counts, the direction of travel is now difficult to ignore.

#Sanctions were supposed to freeze #China's tech ambitions.
In 2019, #US blacklisted #Huawei—cutting access to #TSMC , #Nvidia, and #ASML in one move. Huawei responded by building R&D centres, restructuring supply chains, and deciding to engineer its own path forward. 🧵 (1/5)

#Huawei went from losing access to Nvidia GPUs to shipping its own #AI chip alternatives within a few years.
Each restriction lengthened the list of things it has decided to build on its own. The question was never whether China could surpass #TSMC or #Nvidia.

As per #SWIFT data, #yuan now ranks 6th in global payments (down from 5th and at some point it was 4th too). But #China's own data says it ranks 3rd. China has been using CIPS - its own version of SWIFT for some time now. Its updated rules are making inroads in Asia and Africa.

In May, 8 out of 11 sectors in the $SPX500 fell. Information technology rose about 16% in May, and the SOXX semiconductor index climbed 24%, while most sectors outside AI leaned lower. The index is green. Most of the market is not. - Benzinga

Becoming a generalist sounds appealing as an idea, but it requires time, institutional support, and access that are unevenly distributed.

Are you worried about AI taking your jobs? Well, before mass layoffs and employment doomsday (if it happens at all), there's going to be a quiet reduction in specialised jobs.

We need to be 'generalists' now.

I have created a framework to help you see which jobs might be at risk of an AI takeover.

If your work is repetitive, measurable, and screen-based, it's at risk.

You need to move laterally into other functions with slightly more knowledge of that domain too.
