The Unseen Struggle: Displaced Tech Workers and the Impacts of Artificial Intelligence
In recent months, I've been living a reality that's becoming all too familiar for many tech workers: displacement due to the unchecked rise of artificial intelligence and automation. Despite my extensive experience in the industry, I've found myself unable to reenter the tech sector for the past six months. Tech companies are streamlining their operations with AI, leading to hiring freezes and a saturated job market.
To shed light on this issue, I've created a four-episode TikTok series titled "Surviving AI: Tech Worker’s Story," documenting my journey through these challenging times. Here’s a glimpse into each episode and the hashtags that capture the essence of my struggle.

Despite the hardship, I keep a perspective, comparing my situation to those facing war and conflict in other parts of the world.
