A new AI‑generated advertisement starring Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Sam Altman predicts that up to 80 % of the global workforce could be unemployed by 2030. The clip, released amid rising concerns about automation, frames AI as the primary driver of massive job displacement. While the ad is intended as a provocative marketing piece, it has ignited a broader conversation among policymakers, economists, and tech leaders about the pace of AI adoption. Critics argue the forecast oversimplifies labor market resilience and ignores potential new roles created by technology.
