Worried that AI will take your job? Tony Robbins says it's time to create a self-reinvention plan

Entrepreneur and bestselling author Tony Robbins offers advice to those concerned about AI taking their jobs: take a serious look at your current work and then create a self-reinvention plan.

Robbins stated on a podcast, "I believe it won't be AI directly replacing people; it will be those who do not use AI who will be replaced."

"In the past, everyone advised people to become software engineers and learn to code to secure a stable job. But overnight, AI can help us with coding tasks. Today, the top programmers can manage 50 AI agents to work simultaneously, accomplishing in one day what would have taken five years in the past. Such talent is irreplaceable. So you must view your current job objectively and face reality."

In 2026, Microsoft, Amazon, the metaverse, and many large companies are expected to initiate massive layoffs, utilizing AI to achieve "more work with fewer people." Experts believe that AI-driven workforce reductions will continue to unfold in the coming year.

In fact, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, made a notable prediction: AI could eliminate half of white-collar jobs, pushing the unemployment rate to 20%.

As a motivational speaker, bestselling author, and entrepreneur, Robbins has firsthand insight into the mindsets of both employed and unemployed individuals.

From financial giant Paul Tudor Jones to Salesforce co-founder Marc Benioff, numerous CEOs and top leaders have sought his guidance. Robbins steps outside traditional management theories, focusing on cognitive restructuring and psychological training. Supporters of this method claim it helps elite professionals overcome mental barriers and make high-risk, significant decisions under pressure.

Robbins believes that workers should update their skills now to withstand the impact of AI transformations and achieve growth amid the waves of change.

"If I were a taxi or Uber driver, I would have to honestly face the reality: due to technologies like self-driving trucks, this job is likely to be non-existent in five years. This is just one of many industries that will be disrupted."
