The AI Career Survival Guide

What this book is

There are two industries built around this subject, and both are selling you something. The first sells alarm: everything is about to change, your job is about to disappear, act immediately, usually by buying a course. The second sells comfort: AI is just a tool, human creativity is irreplaceable, nothing important will change.

Neither is honest, and both are unhelpful in the same way: they tell you how to feel rather than what to do. This book takes a third position: something real is happening, it is uneven, it is measurable in places and speculative in others, and there is a specific set of things worth doing about it that would be worth doing anyway. Clearer judgement, better writing, a record of your work, and the ability to use the tools your industry uses improve your position whether or not any particular forecast comes true.
