Worried An AI Is Going To Take Your Job? Here’s How To Stay Relevant In The Generative AI Era

Worried An AI Is Going To Take Your Job? Here’s How To Stay Relevant In The Generative AI Era

Analysis by the International Monetary Fund found that almost 40 percent of all global employment may be affected by AI, and in advanced economies, the figure could be as high as 60 percent. But don’t be alarmed. That doesn’t mean 40 to 60 percent of jobs will disappear altogether. Instead, it means that AI automation is likely to take away, streamline or enhance some of the tasks associated with those jobs. For the most part, then, we’re talking about the augmentation of human jobs. We’re talking about humans working alongside AI tools, not being replaced by them.

But still, with […]

He could not have been more wrong. Although Americans today work relatively fewer hours than their parents did, they still work hundreds of hours more per day than adults in other developed countries.

The computer and internet boom of the 1990s was followed by increased consumer spending, not by people opting for more leisure. Efficiency improvements, which could have been used to […]

Is The Rise Of AI The Best Argument For Universal Basic Income?

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is a transformative force in today’s world, altering the landscape of economies globally.

It is within this context that the concept of universal basic income (UBI) has gained traction as a potential solution to the economic displacement caused by AI advancements.

Universal basic income proposes a model where all citizens receive a regular, unconditional sum of money from the government regardless of employment status or income level. Proponents argue […]

Fear-mongering sells much like how popular science highlights the gravitational pull of black holes to draw attention to the topic. If a black hole gets close to the earth, the earth gets sucked into it. Spooky. What they don’t tell you is that there are objects called white dwarfs (remnant cores of dead stars), which are 100 times more common than black holes and can easily do to earth what black holes would do. They are just not as glamorous as black holes. Likewise, there has been a lot of fear-mongering around the development of AI, especially around its […]
