Worried about AI taking over your job? You’re not alone

March 30, 2025

Dear readers,

Artificial Intelligence is often hailed as the future – boosting productivity, unlocking creativity and solving complex problems at unprecedented speed. But beneath the buzz lies a more complicated reality, one that's already reshaping the world of work and quietly straining the planet.

In a two-part Big Read series, CNA TODAY examines the human and environmental costs of generative AI.

In this first instalment, we speak to workers whose jobs have been disrupted by AI, or who worry that they will soon be displaced by it. We also explore how companies, economies, and individuals are scrambling to adapt.

In next week's instalment, we will shift focus to the less visible but equally pressing environmental impact of AI.

As AI continues to evolve, the question isn't just what it can do – but what it's costing us along the way.

Yours faithfully,
Yasmine Yahya

The future is now - with the AI revolution well upon us, how can workers prevent themselves from being displaced?
