AI: sowieso ontwrichtend - Bert Hubert's writings
a day ago
- Predictions about AI are difficult, but even without malicious intent, AI can cause significant disruption through economic and social impacts.
- Companies will adopt AI even if it's imperfect, because it's cheaper and more efficient than human labor, leading to job losses and privacy concerns.
- Short-term effects include automation of customer service, risk assessment, and medical advice, with potential for rapid job displacement and data centralization in the US.
- Historical parallels like the Industrial Revolution show that transitions can be painful and take generations to benefit the majority.
- Proactive policy is needed: predict affected sectors, regulate collective dismissals, and foster local AI innovation to prevent job outsourcing to the US.
