Welcome to "AI with Shaily" 🎙️, hosted by Shailendra Kumar, where the latest and most intriguing insights into artificial intelligence are shared. In this episode, Shaily explores a groundbreaking discovery from July 2025 about how generative AI, like ChatGPT 🤖, is transforming not only our workplaces but also how different groups of people perceive job security. This perception varies significantly by age, gender, occupation, and social class, making the topic both complex and fascinating.

The research reveals a striking divide: older adults and women generally see generative AI as a threat to their jobs ⚠️, while younger people and those who frequently use AI at work or home view it as a promising opportunity 🌟. For example, 41% of professionals and managers feel that AI opens new doors, but only 25% of people in administrative, sales, or service roles share this optimism. On the flip side, nearly 39% of administrative workers and 35% of manual laborers feel threatened by AI. Social class also plays a role—more than half of working-class individuals see AI as a risk, compared to about a third of the middle class. Interestingly, having a university degree doesn’t significantly change these perceptions 🎓.

Shaily highlights two key takeaways: first, comfort with AI isn’t just about technical skills but is deeply connected to one’s social and occupational status 🏢. Second, the fear or enthusiasm about AI reflects genuine concerns about job stability, especially in roles involving routine tasks. Shaily shares a personal story about a retail worker friend who feels both curious and cautious about AI—worried about automation but hopeful that learning AI skills might help her stay relevant. This personal angle underscores that AI impacts real lives in very personal ways ❤️.

On the positive side, jobs requiring creativity, empathy, and complex judgment appear relatively safe for now 🎨💡. Experts describe AI as a "productivity copilot" rather than a replacement, emphasizing the importance of human oversight 👩‍💼🤝. Educators are responding by integrating AI literacy into classrooms, preparing students to thrive in an AI-enhanced world 📚. Shaily advises everyone—students, professionals, or the curious—to embrace AI tools and develop critical thinking skills to successfully navigate this evolving landscape 🧠✨.

To engage the audience, Shaily poses reflective questions: Does your workplace culture or personal background influence how you view AI’s role in your future? Has AI already changed your daily work routine? He invites listeners to share their thoughts and experiences 💬.

The episode closes with a thought-provoking quote from philosopher Marshall McLuhan: “We become what we behold. We shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape us.” This perfectly encapsulates the dynamic relationship between humans and AI 🌐.

Shaily thanks listeners for tuning in and encourages them to follow him on YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Medium for more AI trends and deep dives. He reminds everyone that in the AI era, curiosity and adaptability are key to success. Until next time, take care and stay curious! 🚀😊

Melinda Stallings brings the power of positivity to the workplace and stage. Founder of The Positive Consultant and curator of DisruptHR Austin, Melinda promotes the “infinite power of positivity,” consulting with individual organizations and extending her reach as the force behind DisruptHR Austin, where she builds programs such as the 2025 theme, Envision, Empower, Elevate, helping people thrive in the workplace. I also learned about PechaKucha, a Japanese storytelling format built around the idea of “talk less, show more.” At DisruptHR, this translates into speakers having just 5 minutes, with 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds. No stress there. With her focus on pausing, reflecting, reframing, and resetting, Melinda reminded me that there is usually a gift in the negative. You might not see it right away, but look no further than the Odyssean journey at the center of our best stories. There has to be some pain along the way. Please join me in welcoming Melinda Stallings to the Work 20XX Podcast. Editor’s Note: Recorded 2025-April-30 at the Running Remote conference in Austin, Texas.
