🙀 This Year AI Replaces "Many, Many Jobs." Yes you heard me right, this year 2026 AI will replace many jobs And Most People Still Think They're Safe. The "Godfather of AI" just dropped a warning that should terrify every knowledge worker. And almost nobody's paying attention.
Empowering Filipino Leaders To Harness AI — Before It Replaces Their Jobs
We are standing at one of the biggest economic shifts in history.
And most people still think they’re safe.
Recently, Geoffrey Hinton — often called the “Godfather of AI” — warned that 2026 could be the year AI replaces “many, many jobs.”
He didn’t say someday.
He said now.
“We’re going to see AI having the capabilities to replace many, many jobs. It’s already replacing call centers — and soon it will replace many others.”
Hinton helped create the very neural networks powering today’s AI tools. He didn’t leave Google for fame — he left because he’s worried about what happens if people are not prepared.
And as leaders, business owners, freelancers, and professionals in the Philippines — we cannot afford to ignore this.
AI Is No Longer A Trend — It’s An Economic Force
Hinton explained that AI capability is doubling roughly every few months.
That means:
➡️ AI used to write small snippets — now it builds entire projects
➡️ Work that took hours now takes minutes
➡️ Soon, complex multi-month work will be automated
Many industries are already feeling it:
• Call centers are being automated
• Software development is shifting to AI-assisted workflows
• Accounting, admin, content writing, sales support, HR — now heavily AI-powered
• Marketing and design are being replaced faster than expected
Economists call this the jobless boom:
Productivity rises. Profits rise.
Companies grow — but they hire fewer people.
AI lets companies do more with fewer employees.
And those who don’t adapt?
They get left behind.
What This Means For Filipino Professionals & Entrepreneurs
We have millions of:
• BPO workers
• virtual assistants
• accountants
• marketers
• teachers
• freelancers
• agency owners
• corporate managers
If AI can do the same job faster, cheaper, and without salary, benefits, or breaks…
Companies will automate.
Not because they are cruel.
But because economics will push them to.
This will widen inequality fast if we are not ready.
This Is Exactly Why I Built LeDon Academy
I am Jenni Foronda, CEO and Founder of LeDon Academy.
Our mission is simple:
Empower Filipino leaders, business owners, freelancers, and professionals to harness AI — not be replaced by it.
AI is not the enemy.
The real threat is not learning it.
You do not need to become a programmer.
But you MUST learn how to:
✔ automate repetitive tasks
✔ make smarter decisions using AI
✔ create faster workflows
✔ use AI to increase revenue
✔ innovate your services and offers
Because the truth is:
AI will not replace people — but people who use AI will replace those who don’t.
What AI Still Can’t Replace (Yet)
There are skills AI cannot fully replicate:
✨ Strategic thinking
✨ Human connection and leadership
✨ Emotional intelligence
✨ Problem-solving in real-world situations
✨ Creativity and vision
✨ Authentic relationships and trust
These are uniquely human.
If you combine these with AI skills, you become:
➡️ More valuable
➡️ More competitive
➡️ More irreplaceable
The Question You Need To Ask Yourself
Are you preparing…
or pretending it won’t affect you?
Because whether we like it or not:
✔️ AI is entering every industry
✔️ Companies are restructuring
✔️ Work is changing permanently
Filipinos are talented, resilient, and innovative.
But we must adapt fast.

• Freelancers upgrade their skills and charge higher rates
• Corporations train teams for AI-powered workflows
• Professionals reposition themselves for the future of work

Because 2026 should not be the year we lose jobs.
It should be the year Filipinos rise, innovate, and lead.
If you want to prepare — not panic — start now.

Together, let’s make sure AI becomes our advantage, not our replacement.
