Can you expand on that? I can’t see how productivity will not replace (at least some) them in the long run and shift the workload on the remaining ones, basically making fewer people handle a larger workload for a bit more pay or same pay? And that has more or less been the case with tech so far, though at a slower pace it seems.
Or are you saying that AI will create a lot of demand for workforce? And how so?
- dilawar 2y agoThere is an infinite amount of work in the future. Some jobs may become redundant because of AI but I don't see anyone becoming less busier.
- asolove 2y agoThe amount of work to be done isn’t constant. If you make it cheaper to do a unit of work (less labor per unit) then the market will demand more of it. Look up the unintentional impact of the cotton gin for an example.
- m_ke 2y agoWe’ll just have more stuff. Product backlogs for most companies have no end so a worker going from creating 2 widgets to 10 widgets a month means they’re creating more bang for the buck. It will only hurt industries with limited demand or fixed amount of work (think bookkeepers, customer support) that are cost centers.
