Facing the Future Together
By Elizabeth Xi Zhang
“This is not just an economic crisis — it’s a human one.”
Artificial Intelligence and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) are reshaping the world faster than most of us expected. Millions are already feeling the tremors: jobs disappearing, industries shifting, uncertainty rising. But what do we do now — and who do we become in the process?
The Unemployment Pandemic is a digital project dedicated to exploring these questions. Through stories, interviews, essays, and curated media, we invite you to reflect, connect, and reimagine what life can look like beyond traditional work.
