🤔 MIT published a study revealing that AI systems already have the technical capability to replace work equivalent to 11.7% of the U.S. workforce (~$1.2 trillion in wages) across industries:

The research is based on the Iceberg Index (a simulation platform built with Oak Ridge National Laboratory) by modeling 151 million workers as individual agents each mapped by skills/occupation/geographic location.

The study found that highly visible job losses in tech represent only a small fraction of total risk - far greater exposure exists in routine office/business functions.
