This book presents a broad and in-depth examination of the current and future impact of AI and AGI on humans at work. Many job roles are examined in terms of what the various impacts will be on human workers of all kinds and in various settings, and how AI and AGI will impact for good and ill their job responsibilities, their displacement, possible retraining and the like--all as a result of the ever-increasing presence and use of AI and AGI in the workplace. I cover the impact for machinists on the factory floor, assembly line workers, physicians, lawyers, construction workers, structural engineers, and artists of all stripes in all major artistic fields of creativity. I pose the content gleaned from my own work experiences with AI as an IT consultant and teacher at the Graduate School level, admitting my own befuddlement with one AI tool. Based on my own background and research spent in authoring other books that touch directly on AI and AGI in my own world of work (specifically in IT consulting and project management), I create the questions about the impact of AI and AGI posed throughout the book. I then ask via OpenAI's Chat GPT-4 (Plus) what the latest trained language model tool has to say from what it has been trained on via its vast array of data. I also ask for primary and secondary source material to see what Chat GPT-4 (Plus) is using to produce the answers to the questions I put to the popular and leading AI databased fact-generating resource tool. In short, the book is meant to give workers of all kinds a heads up-if they still need one-about the pros and cons of AI and AGI in the world of work today and in the near term.
