When I was a child there weren’t 50 people in the country employed working with personal or business computers. When computers stated making inroads in the 60’s 70’s and 80’s the concern was about people losing their jobs to computers... What happened was computers created jobs. AI could be the same.
Computers did not create the same number of jobs they displaced. At best, maybe 1/3 of new jobs were created. I’m betting that the number of new jobs might be 1/10 of the jobs being destroyed. More over time.
“What happened was computers created jobs. AI could be the same.”
The difference is that AI systems can design themselves. They already are. Any jobs created will likely be menial one (e.g. sales of AI systems).
