Everything you need to understand AI displacement, evaluate your risk, and prepare for the next decade of work. Charts, research, videos, and a free 2026 trends report.
From Day 1, the Clankers Member Education Program is in your corner. Daily AI readiness emails, reskilling courses, and risk assessments — and after 90 days, full income protection activates. The program never stops: education continues for the entire life of your subscription.
Six numbers that explain why AI displacement isn't a future problem. It's already happening — and it's accelerating.
Stats are useful. A plan is better. The Clankers Member Education Program prepares you for displacement, every day, for $50/month — with $2,000/month income protection after Day 90.
Estimated share of tasks within each occupation that current generative AI can perform at human-equivalent quality. Higher percentage = higher displacement risk.
From the launch of ChatGPT to the first wave of mass AI displacement, here are the moments that defined the new economic reality.
The state of work in the age of automation. Synthesised from 40+ research sources, with charts, industry breakdowns, and the action plan workers need.
Not all work is equally exposed. Here's how to think about which skills are durable and which ones AI will eat first.
Reading about which skills survive is the easy part. The Clankers program builds the actual plan — daily emails, curated courses, quarterly risk re-checks — every day you're a member, not just for 90 days.
A curated list of the most important AI displacement research published since 2023. All free to read at the source.
Members get the weekly research digest · $50/moThe original "300 million jobs" report. Models the economic impact of generative AI across global labour markets and industries. The single most-cited piece of research on AI displacement.
McKinsey's deep dive into which work activities can be automated by current AI. Includes the most rigorous occupation-by-occupation breakdown publicly available.
The WEF's flagship survey of employers worldwide. Forecasts 92 million roles displaced and 170 million created by 2030. The clearest picture of net change rather than just losses.
Stanford's annual benchmark of AI capability, deployment, investment, and labour market impact. Updated yearly. The single best source for tracking how fast capabilities are improving.
The OECD's ongoing research programme on labour market disruption from automation. Strongest analysis of policy responses (and their absence) across member countries.
The community-maintained database of every tech layoff since 2020. Real-time, with company names, dates, and counts. Where the abstract numbers become concrete names and faces.
Brookings' geographic analysis of which US regions and demographics are most exposed to automation. The report that maps displacement to specific cities and counties.
The IMF's analysis of which countries and which workers face the greatest exposure. Crucially: advanced economies are far more exposed than developing ones, because their job mix is more cognitive.
The most important explainers and talks on AI and the future of work. Some are years old. None have aged.
Anthony Goldbloom on what machine learning is actually good at, and what it isn't.
Kai-Fu Lee, former president of Google China, on what AI can and cannot replace — and where humans still win.
MIT's Erik Brynjolfsson on why the productivity paradox of AI is making the displacement problem worse, not better.
Former Tesla AI director on how AI is rewriting what it means to be a software engineer. Multiple talks, all worth watching.
Sam Harris on the broader question of AI alignment — and why economic displacement is just the first symptom.

Khan Academy's complete computer science curriculum. From "what is a variable" to advanced algorithms. Excellent for adults who never learned to code.
The most popular MOOC in history. Teaches the meta-skill of learning new skills fast — the single most important capability in a displacement era.
Harvard's legendary intro course. Taught by David Malan. Universally considered the best computer science introduction available anywhere, free or paid.
Free for the first month, often free through public libraries. Strong on professional and business skills that are harder to find on academic platforms.
The first 90 days of the Clankers Member Education Program — a structured framework to assess your AI displacement risk, build durable skills, and secure your income. Every Clankers subscriber works through this from day one. The first 90 days are summarised below for everyone, free.
The 90-day framework is the onboarding phase of the Clankers Member Education Program. After day 90, members continue receiving daily AI readiness emails for the entire duration of their subscription — covering new research, updated tool guides, industry-specific reskilling tracks, and quarterly risk re-assessments. Displacement is a moving target. Your education needs to move with it.
A snapshot of how major governments have responded to AI displacement. The summary: regulation, yes. Worker protection, almost nowhere.
Existing unemployment insurance applies, but no displacement-specific support exists. State-level pilot programmes in WA and CA. Federal AI Bill of Rights is non-binding.
Strongest AI regulation in the world — but it regulates AI, not its labour effects. No EU-level worker compensation scheme for displacement.
Government opted for a light-touch regulatory approach. Department for Work and Pensions monitoring AI impact on benefits caseload but no programme yet.
State investment in AI development is enormous. Public discussion of displacement effects is limited. No publicly known retraining or income programme tied to AI specifically.
One of the few countries with an active legislative debate on taxing AI/robotics to fund displacement relief. No law passed yet, but the most advanced policy conversation in Asia.
Swiss voters rejected UBI in a 2016 referendum, 77% to 23%. The conversation has restarted in 2024-2025 but no formal proposal is on the table.
Federal employment insurance covers job loss, but no AI-specific programme. Quebec has piloted basic income trials. No national framework.
Federal "skills passport" and reskilling voucher programmes exist but are not displacement-specific. Means-tested unemployment support covers displaced workers in principle, in practice slowly.
Each citizen aged 25+ receives reskilling credits ($500-$4000 depending on age). The most advanced reskilling programme on the list — but still education, not income replacement.
You can't out-learn the entire automation wave. You can prepare for it — and you can buy yourself a runway when it hits. Clankers subscribers get income protection plus the daily Member Education Program for $50/month.
