AI Boogeyman Oleg Feldgajer

Honesty is in short supply these days. Yet its scarcity is well compensated by an abundance of fake news, fake data, fake policies, fake flattery, fake apologies, fake advice, fake smiles, fake hair, fake boobs... should I go on? Whether you have a job or plan to get one soon - chances are that you have some questions about the impact of AI on the job market. You're not alone. So, treat my book as: "The Honest Advice For The Not-So-Honest World""AI BOOGEYMAN - Dispelling Fake News About Job Losses" will dismiss an unprecedented onslaught of doom and gloom predictions - from a unique perspective of a seasoned AI practitioner. IMHO, spreading unproven and hypothetical statistics about job losses is equivalent to spreading an airborne virus. Perhaps it is less deadly than COVID-19, but it is a disease - a social disease, to be precise. Not since the Y2K scare, the predictions of AI-linked job losses have turned the prophecies of Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) into such a massive cottage industry. So, dispelling fake-news about job losses related to Artificial Intelligence (AI) - became my mission! This is one of the most insightful and comprehensive books on such a subject ever published. It's written by an AI veteran and practitioner of over 30+ years! Stop losing your sleep over AI-induced job insecurity. Despite the hype, job-losses attributed to AI are mostly fiction and scare tactics of unscrupulous "experts". There are far more dangerous causes of losing your job than AI. Read about such threats in my book and focus your energy on what counts! Join me on a journey to restore sanity and after reading my book you will never again fall prey to false prophecies... With thousands of followers on Twitter and Linkedin - I often speak my mind without anesthetics. But first, I would like to tell you more about my unique background and life experiences: I am in the business of joining Advisory Boards (ABs) with a single mission: to Reinvent Corporate Prosperity. Now, I help VC, CVC, and Private Equity funds to maximize their returns in Healthcare, Fintech, Transportation, Construction & Manufacturing. It is based on the same structured finance expertise I acquired through financing over $1B of Renewable Energy projects. As a 30-yr BusinessAI(TM) veteran, I also Propose, Design, Structure, Finance, and Deploy state-of-the-art Joint Ventures to bring RAPID & SUSTAINABLE REVENUES. And as a coach and mentor, I bring business savvy to separate the wheat from the chaff. It is a process to beat the odds - just as I did w/ Verizon 20 years ago. I reached the stage in my life where I don't care about office politics and water-cooler gossips. Nor do I offer fake flatteries to CEOs. All I care about is how to solve problems and deliver results - by managing change and uncertainty, resiliently. I am here to separate AI facts from fiction, and I'm delighted to share my 30-year "wisdom". The promises of Artificial Intelligence are all around us. But you also see & hear a lot of hand-waving and "imagine-the-future" narratives. So, basically, I help separate the wheat from the chaff... The last time I checked, there was no letter "B" nor "S" in the words: A R T I F I C I A L I N T E L L I G E N C E - so, why should we let BS in?Baseless fear of job losses caused by AI may prevent many from embracing the natural evolution of AI capabilities. Such misplaced apprehension may lead to a long-term loss of engagement with AI innovation - by those who need it the most. Enough is enough! To paraphrase Peter Finch's call to arms from the 1976 Network movie: "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!" Are you?
