Peter Weddle: From Rust Belt to Desk Desert

Artificial intelligence is a disruptive technology that is indisputably benefiting humankind. It is already improving the quality of our daily lives, our performance on-the-job, the efficacy of our medicines, and even the accuracy of line calls at professional tennis matches. But because it is disruptive, it is also harming the wellbeing of many people and has the potential to harm many more.

For the moment at least, that harm principally involves job loss. Employers are replacing workers with AI-powered applications in almost every profession, craft and trade. The palliative for this harm typically takes the form of reassuring workers that new technologies have always been disruptive. Take electricity, the personal computer, the combustion engine – all have thrown people out of their “old” jobs and forced them to move on to “new” and presumably better ones.

Unfortunately, however, that simplistic old-to-new jobs transition is way off the mark when it comes to understanding the impact of AI.
