Discuss with a partner
1 Do you think AI is more likely to replace jobs or create new ones in the next 10 years? Why?
2  Which professions are most at risk of being replaced by AI, and which ones could benefit from AI support?
3  If your job were automated by AI, what new skill would you want to learn to stay employable?

4 Should governments or companies be responsible for helping people who lose their jobs because of AI? Why or why not?
5 How can AI help improve working conditions or productivity without taking away human jobs?

Watch the clip and discuss if you agree with the opinion.
Or if you see the future differently relating to the future of jobs.

When we talk about the future, we can

make predictions
talk about possibilities
describe actions completed by a future time

Future Simple: Predictions (Will / Won't)

Use: To make general predictions or express a belief about the future. Often used with "I think," "I believe," "I expect."

I think AI will change the job market dramatically.
AI won't replace all human jobs.
Experts believe self-driving cars will be common within 10 years.

Modals of Possibility (Might / Could / May)

Use: To express that something is possible, but not certain.

Might / Could / May are generally interchangeable for possibility, with may sometimes sounding slightly more formal.

AI might lead to widespread job displacement.
It could also create entirely new job opportunities.
The government may introduce new laws to regulate AI.

Future Perfect: Completed by a Future Time

Use: To talk about an action that will be completed before a specific time or another action in the future.

will have + past participle (V3)

by, by the time, before, in + a period of time

By 2030, AI will have transformed many industries.
Before you retire, human workers will have learned to collaborate effectively with AI.
In just a few years, AI will have automated most of the 'grunt work' mentioned in the article.
