A few months ago, I realised something unsettling. I was sitting at my desk having a full strategy conversation with my virtual AI assistant, refining business models, pressure-testing marketing ideas, restructuring workflows and iterating through drafts faster than most junior teams could realistically respond. And yes, I'm one of those who have named them — her name is ‘Kim’. With Kim there are no lunch breaks, no office politics, no HR issues, no fatigue, no emotional resistance to the fifteenth revision.

And somewhere in the middle of that conversation came the uncomfortable thought many executives are quietly having right now: "If one person with AI can suddenly operate at the output of three or four people, what happens to the labour model underneath the modern corporation?"

That is the real story unfolding beneath the global AI boom. Not robots marching into offices and firing everyone. Something far quieter. Far more strategic. And potentially far more destabilising for white-collar professionals across Jamaica, the Caribbean and the United States.
