The AI Jobs Panic: What Big Tech Won't Tell You

🔗 Trade alongside Gareth and the team in the Apex Live Day Trading Room: https://verifiedinvesting.com/product... On this episode of Verified Market Insiders, Chief Market Strategist Gareth Soloway steps back from the charts for a bigger conversation: what the latest wave of AI actually means for us — our jobs, our trust, and our future. He's joined by Aleksandra Przegalinska, a fellow at Harvard and Vice President at Kozminski University in Poland, and one of the sharpest voices on AI and the future of work. Together they dig into why the mood around AI has flipped from excitement to anxiety, why graduates are booing AI speakers at commencement, the real story behind the labor data, and the hidden costs of the AI boom — from data-center water and electricity bills to deepfakes, surveillance, and the erosion of trust. It's a candid, sobering, and ultimately hopeful look at where this is all heading. 🧠 IN THIS INTERVIEW: Will I have a job? The sentiment shift and why young people are pushing back on AI Productivity multiplier vs. hiring freeze - what the labor data does and doesn't show The hidden costs of the AI boom: data centers, water, electricity, and rising bills The data-center rebellion and a backlash uniting people across the political spectrum Powerful new models, cybersecurity, and why some of the most capable AI is being restricted Surveillance, transparency, and the police-state fear Deepfakes, the erosion of trust, and "who do we go to for the real story?" Why big tech's bet on attention-grabbing "slop" may have been the wrong trajectory A path forward: a meaningful debate about what we actually want from AI - with humans in charge 🔑 KEY TAKEAWAY: AI isn't going away, and used well it can be transformative. But the conversation has to move from hype to a meaningful debate about what we want from it - keeping people, not models, at the center. ⏱ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 - Intro: AI, Jobs & the Big Questions 1:28 - Why Graduates Are Booing AI 3:56 - Layoffs, Productivity & the Hiring Freeze 7:01 - The Hidden Costs: Data Centers & Rising Bills 7:51 - The Data-Center Rebellion & a Bipartisan Backlash 10:10 - Powerful Models, Cybersecurity & Restricted AI 13:23 - Surveillance, Palantir & the Police-State Fear 16:17 - Hype vs. a Meaningful Debate on AI 17:50 - Deepfakes & the Erosion of Trust 18:39 - Disengagement, Bubbles & Big Tech's "Slop" Bet 25:16 - A Generational Rebellion Against AI 29:49 - Where Does This Take Us in 20 Years? 30:47 - Keeping Humans at the Center ✅ SUBSCRIBE for more Verified Market Insiders interviews 🔔 Ring the bell so you never miss an episode 👍 LIKE if this gave you a new way to think about AI 💬 Comment: are you optimistic or worried about where AI is taking us? 👤 FOLLOW @garethsolowayprotrader Guest: Aleksandra Przegalinska - Harvard fellow & VP, Kozminski University ⚠️ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER The information presented in this video is for educational and informational purposes only and should NOT be considered financial, investment, tax, or legal advice.
