There’s one thing that will bring AI adaptation to a screeching halt.
Security issues. The viruses AI will launch will be a nightmare to try to contain.
it’s not here yet? Really.
Wait till the AI robots come to do the blue-collar grunt work. The stuff that’s supposed to be “safe.”
Basically the only people who think AI is a good idea are the handful of people who own the AI companies. They think it’s great.
Why is “more government” always the answer to every problem?
Just what we need. More government.
F that.
The government planners (read controllers) and global elitists would love for there to be a jobs apocalypse ... but, sadly for them (and happily for everyone else) it’s not going to happen. AI will create as many jobs as it destroys, just like the railroads, the telegraph, radio, TV and the internet.
Im glad I’m retired.....Hopefully that will insulated me....at least to a certain degree. 🤞
Ah...NO.
The leftwing Economist seeking to rebuild the USAID/Democrat monolith political machine where everyone is dependent on Uncle Sugar and Democrats siphon off trillions to rebuild their corrupt machine.. Shouldn't The Economist be supporting a capitalist way?
Even Microsoft said , never trust anything IMPORTANT to AI ,LOL
I saw the way internet changed our work. More information at my fingertips, it made my work easier. AI just seems like a more capable search engine. I think it will put more information in the hands of ordinary people. It’s certainly not going to replace blue collar workers, and it will just further empower tech workers.
The Economist is stoking fear to justify enlarging the welfare state. If we had taken that publication’s advice when tractors were replacing mules, autos were replacing horse and buggies, machine looms were replacing hand looms, etc., almost all of our ancestors and their descendants would have grown into a permanent welfare class.
If AI is threatening the jobs in the private sector, why shouldn’t it also be true in the public sector?
There must be millions of menial government jobs that should be ripe for AI to replace. Save us some money, while at the same time eliminate the fraud, abuse, and laziness that is rife in government jobs.
It's probably cheaper and safer to go back to paper.
Society is on the brink of financial failure and The Economist wants a government backed safety net.
The Economist should be screaming that society is on the brink of financial failure!
AI is going to fix Climate Change?
According to Climate Science, the data centers are going to accelerate Climate Change…
Oh, it’s already here. It’s just not happening in great obvious swaths of layoffs.
AI is currently being used to look at existing code in major systems all over the country. It is looking for coding errors or more efficient methods for processing.
The result? 10-20% gains in efficiency and “up time”. All those little “bugs” that plague every system are getting cleaned up.
The result? Turn around times are faster. Up time is getting better. People moving stuff from one place to another are doing it more effectively. What that happens you simply don’t need as many people doing it. So job openings are not being filled. New hires are still happening, but in different fields. Companies will start seeing this on the bottom line in the next year or so.
AI is not going to be SkyNet, controlling everything. AI is going to simply make the old systems run better, faster, and longer without errors. The SkyNet stuff is still years off. We are hip deep in the later already.
The US (and all) economies make short term and long term changes based a a myriad of factors.
1) Alternating presidents have totally different policies on immigration and businesses and employment of immigrants.
2) The Supreme Court just held Trucking Companies legally responsible for the character of their drivers. This will impact the many drivers who drink and/or use drugs. Trucking Companies may be looking to hire those laid off computer coders.
3) Some celebrity will come along with the next pet rock, the next timeshare and employ many for the fad.
A mix of good and bad events will happen.
