The Great Displacement: New Free Calculator Predicts the Exact Year AI Will Eliminate Your Job

TheGreatDisplacement.ai uses research from the World Economic Forum, Goldman Sachs, and Gartner to give workers a personalized AI displacement timeline and plan to stay ahead

FRANKLIN, Tenn., Feb. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A free online calculator is now telling American workers the exact year they will lose their job to artificial intelligence. TheGreatDisplacement.ai, created by AI consultant Scott McIntosh, lets users enter any job title and see their automation risk, projected displacement year, and steps to stay ahead.

What This Means for the American Workforce

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).
