π¨πΊπΈ MIT WARNS: A GIANT WAVE OF WORK CHANGES HAS ALREADY BEGUN π€ MIT published a bombshell study yesterday: AI can already replace 11.7% of the US job market, equivalent to $1.2 TRILLION in wages.
πΉBut here's the key piece of information: only 2.2% of that potential is already being used. The remaining 9.5%, a "hidden" percentage, represents jobs that AI can technically perform today (finance, HR, administration, professional services), but which companies have not yet adopted.
β‘οΈ MIT created the Iceberg Index to illustrate this gap between "what AI can do today" vs. "what it is actually replacing."
β‘οΈ The exposure isn't limited to San Francisco or New York. The impact is widespread across the US, including industrial states like Ohio, Michigan, and Tennessee. The trend is nationwide. π But be aware! The study demonstrates technical capability, not an inevitable outcome. Many companies don't automate because integrating AI is complex or because hybrid teams (human + AI) perform better.
