I don't think it's really worth worrying about. AI won't be able to do your job until AGI, and automation will be brittle and weak until then. By the time AGI rolls around, all information workers will lose their jobs almost simultaneously.

Yep, in the short-term, I see it happening in customer support, copywriting, translation, data science, accounting ...

In the medium-term, long before AGI, it will be happening in Law, Software development, healthcare and much more

pretty soon we'll have powerful narrow AIs that will increase productivity by like 5x. Companies won't need to hire as many people.

Do you think unemployment among white collar workers will jump to even 60% in 10 years?

If the AI improvement doesn't halt its pace then yes.
