AI and the Lost City of Dwaraka
under 100 feet of sea… gone, and mostly forgotten
“The impact of AI will be profound and disruptive, causing significant job displacement and the need for retraining and reskilling of the workforce. Traditional businesses will need to adapt or die.” – Thomas Frey, futurist
The ancient City of Dwaraka in India is one of the oldest cities in the world. It is believed that Lord Krishna lived here along with his people.
Legend says that after the Mahabharata war, Gandhari cursed Dwaraka and Krishna submerging the city in the sea…
and as the waves quickly covered this once thriving city, there was only silence...
Today, Dwaraka, is under 100 feet of sea… gone, and mostly forgotten.
Just like the inevitable rise of the sea, and the clawing of cities deep into the depths never to be seen again, the new sea is upon us, cities will fall, businesses will be overrun, and people will lose their jobs…
This isn’t doomsaying… this is fact, and it’s already happening…
Some of the big companies that laid off people in 2023 related to AI taking jobs…
Google: 1,200
Salesforce: 1,000
Duolingo: 200
Others: 2,000+
And now, let’s look at 2024…
Google: 500+
Salesforce: 300
Duolingo: 200
Others: 1,500+
Notice anything rising…
We are less than a month into 2024… and the numbers are climbing quickly on the whole of 2023… I dread to think what the figures will be at the end of this year.
The rising tide of AI is coming, drawing ever near, taking down businesses left right and center, and while some claw to life, others are just being swept away…
This rapid evolution of AI in business is both a blessing and a curse.
Sure it's transforming how we work, but keeping up with these changes, staying ahead of the curve is swiftly putting people that don’t at a severe disadvantage...
But what a toll this takes on your time and resources.
Here's the catch – falling behind isn't an option.
In a new world where AI defines success, neglecting it will mean losing out to competitors… It’s not rocket science, it’s pure numbers.
Yet, there's a silver lining.
If you adapt and embrace the change of AI now… you are at a significant advantage.
The key is balance.
You don't need to chase every AI trend.
Instead, you focus on what aligns with your business goals and enhances your operations.
Remember, AI should be your tool, and you make the rules.
Despite the challenges associated with this AI use… the future of online business is knowing how to use AI.
AI = freedom.
No AI = disappearing into the waves.
