00:00I actually work in recruitment so there is some level of residual conversation around AI and

00:05there has been for quite a long time. I can't say I'm personally particularly concerned that AI is

00:11going to hold us back or remove jobs that it shouldn't remove or take skilled people's

00:17employment away from them. It will shift things but then there's always been technology. Technology

00:22shifts the dial and moves the needle of how business works and ultimately kind of work is

00:27created based on the skills that you have rather than technology is generally there to sort of

00:32further skill sets rather than detract from skill sets. There is a lot of unemployment and when you

00:38bring in AI that means a lot of people will also be out of work. The journalism industry is probably

00:44quite a bit at risk from AI considering I mean maybe you aren't able to get that more personal

00:49opinions more based but for factual information definitely journalism is a career that's at risk

00:54and I think for the younger generations going into work there's this big issue of like are there

00:58going to be enough jobs.
