Good afternoon. I'm looking for people with experience evaluating labor markets, economists, researchers, and AI experts to comment for an article that will look at how AI is potentially poised to hit Gen X and older Millennials the hardest in terms of job replacement. My main questions are: 1.) With increased life expectancy comes an older workforce that has found itself in a paradoxical situation: Gen X and older Millennials are in their prime earning years, but 70% of Gen X say they can't ever afford to retire. That said, how do you anticipate the rise of AI in the workplace to impact aging workers who still need employment? 2.) OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has expressed concern about middle-aged workers who have a reluctance to retrain or modernize amid the evolution of AI tools. What are your thoughts on this? 3.) What does a 50 + year old worker need to do to stay relevant in the rapidly evolving employment landscape? 4.) Are there specific skill sets, in terms of AI, people should be learning now? 5.) What industries do you think are most likely to see a phase out of aging workers, regardless of whether or not they're willing to retrain? (e.g. mechanical industries, certain kinds of office jobs, etc.) - 6.) Recent research points toward managerial reluctance (from a group of over 400 surveyed team leaders) to retrain employees older than 45 years. What are your thoughts on this?
