Uber's CEO Warns of AI Disruption, Calls for Honest Conversation on Job Losses

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi estimates AI will replace 70-80% of human work, with knowledge and intellectual jobs replaced within a decade and physical roles like driving and logistics within 15-20 years. He believes most tech executives privately admit to AI's scale of disruption but publicly downplay it to avoid spooking investors. Khosrowshahi also discussed the impact of AI on Uber's workforce, with 9.5 million drivers and couriers potentially replaced by autonomous vehicles within 15-20 years.
