McIntosh coined "The Great Displacement" to describe the mass transformation of jobs caused by AI, which he predicts will reshape the workforce on a scale not seen since the Great Depression. The calculator draws on research from major institutions:

By end of 2026, 37% of business leaders plan to replace workers with AI, and 20% of large organizations will use AI to eliminate over half of middle management (Gartner).
By 2028, Goldman Sachs estimates 300 million jobs globally impacted, with 1 million net U.S. jobs lost in a single year.
By 2030, 85–92 million jobs displaced worldwide, though 97–170 million new roles requiring AI fluency are expected to emerge (World Economic Forum, McKinsey).
