If you are interested in real information about AI and its impact on the labor force, I highly recommend Stanford University's HAI program. You can go to their site or just go to Youtube and search. It is an international program that discusses current events and trends and predictions on when and where and how much various employment positions will be affected.
It also has discussions with leaders in major employment industries on what can be done to minimize the impact on existing employees.
LOTS of good information, but don't look for sound bites. Most discussions are hours long.
