The common narrative is that AI, like the internet before it, will ultimately create more jobs than it destroys. But what if that comparison is a dangerous delusion? Our guest today argues that AI is a fundamentally different force, a productivity tool designed to replace jobs on an unprecedented scale, and the impact is already here.



Dr. Sivapalan Vivekarajah, co-founder of ScaleUp Malaysia Accelerator, joins us to deliver a stark warning about the future of work. He explains why he believes white-collar, digital, and especially junior-level roles are at immediate risk, and why our education system is failing to prepare the next generation for this new reality.



We discuss:




Why AI is a job replacement tool, not job creation infrastructure.


The evidence of mass job displacement already happening in tech and finance.


Why junior-level and entry-level roles are the most vulnerable.


How our education system must fundamentally change to adapt.


The case for Universal Basic Income (UBI) as a necessary societal solution.



For business leaders, educators, and policy markers trying to understand the profound shifts ahead, this is an urgent and essential conversation about preparing for an AI-driven future.
