Instead of worrying about which jobs will be eliminated, we should ask what new forms of work become possible when AI expands the demand frontier. Through concepts like the 'human premium' and a healthcare case study, he explores how cheaper, personalized, and continuously available AI services could create new categories of human employment. The episode reframes AI not as a job destroyer but as an engine for new demand and professional reinvention.
