I mean, it will? Not universally, but for the specific products I work on we use additional labor when we include AI-enabled features (due to installing and wiring processors and sensors).
I think that that the sorts of AI that smaller companies make will be more likely to create jobs as opposed to getting rid of them since they are more likely to be integrated with physical products.
- vsareto 3y ago>I mean, it will? It's complicated obviously, but I think "will create jobs" just leaves a lot of subtlety out of it, so I've never believed it when representatives say it and I wouldn't say it myself writing to them, but a small letter to a representative always will lack that fidelity. I don't think anyone can guarantee that there won't be job loss with AI, so it's possible we could have a net negative (in total jobs, quality of jobs, or any dimension). What we do see is companies shedding jobs on a (what seems like perpetual) edge of a recession/depression, so it might be worth regulating in the short term.
- elil17 3y agoI agree I didn't make this clear enough in my letter. I do think AI will cause job loss, I just think it will be worse if a few companies are allowed to have a monopoly on AI. If anyone can work on AI, hopefully people can make things for themselves/create AI in a way that retains some jobs.
