"As jobs disappear, so will identity," says AI futurist Akram Awad, outlining the three types of people that will emerge as AI continues to replace the workforce. He introduces the blueprint for a society built not on wealth and job titles but on purpose and societal contributions, offering a framework to reimagine who you are — and a way for society to avoid a collective identity crisis.
