$725 Billion Is Going to AI This Year. Almost None of It Is Going to the People Who Need It Most.

In the first week of May alone, Meta announced 8,000 job cuts. Microsoft offered buyouts to nearly 9,000 workers for the first time in its 51-year history. PayPal said it would eliminate 20% of its entire workforce. Coinbase cut 14% of staff. Every announcement cited the same driver: artificial intelligence.

THE “NO EXPERIENCE, NO JOB” LOOP NOW POWERED BY AI.

It used to be frustrating. Now it’s becoming a structural problem. You graduate. You apply for jobs. They ask for experience. You don’t have experience. So you don’t get the job.

What happens if AI replaces a huge share of human jobs?

At first, it sounds like progress. Costs fall, production speeds up, profits rise, but then what happens to the people whose incomes disappear? And if those people lose their income, what happens next?

I am

In the Age of Artificial Intelligence I am human, and I live in a time where intelligence is no longer mine alone. There was a time when thinking felt like the ultimate proof of being alive. If you could think, you existed in a way nothing else did because higher intelligence was what separated us from other creatures. That idea felt solid, certain and untouchable, but things have changed. Now, I share that space with artificial intelligence. It learns, responds, creates, and sometimes even surprises me.

Why I Told a Room of UWC Students to Stop Begging for Jobs

Most people think the value of AI begins and ends with chatbots. That is the tip of the iceberg. For Africa, the real opportunity lies in deploying intelligent systems to tackle our most intractable problems, and in raising a generation of young people who know how to wield those systems with purpose. While the world panics about AI taking jobs, I see the greatest leapfrogging opportunity this continent has ever had. But there is a gap, and it is enormous. Over 10 million young Africans enter the labour market every single year, while the formal economy creates only about 3 million jobs to absorb them. That is a 7-million-person shortfall, every twelve months, compounding. Our education system was not designed for the agility this era demands. Meanwhile, millions of African businesses need to implement AI to survive and compete globally, and our young people are graduating into a world that is rewriting itself in real time, often unsure where they fit.
