I’m not worried. AI isn’t going to eliminate jobs but rather reorder them, just like when we went to the automobile from horses and from the mid-century office (typewriters, stenographers, phone centers and operators, type set printers, etc.) to the computer world. Even now, the computer PC age is rapidly shrinking due to handheld devices, the constant connection and dataset access via the Internet, Starlink and AI.
There’ll be whole new job categories and skills in the future.
I’m concerned with the amount energy it requires. Who’s paying?
“In 2022, American data centers consumed about 176 terawatt-hours of electricity—roughly 4 percent of all U.S. demand, more than many entire states. Projections suggest an additional 35 to 108 gigawatts of demand by 2030. The midpoint estimate, 50 gigawatts, is enough to power every home in California.”
