'There is no simple way of discussing the economic impact of artificial
intelligence. As someone who has been warning about the impacts of automation
for a decade now, and trying to get people to understand that automation has
already been impacting us for decades, I can tell you that this nuanced
conversation basically gets boiled down to "Technology is going to end all
jobs" versus "Everything will be fine." Both of those are wrong. The truth as
usual, exists somewhere in the middle, and comes with a lot of "it depends"
asterisks. In this post, my goal is to help people understand that although AI
will get rid of a lot of jobs, that doesn't mean everyone will be jobless and
forever unemployable. And that despite a market for human labor continuing to
exist with AI shouldering a lot of work, the wave of job disruption is not
going to be pleasant, and the path we take depends greatly on the adoption of
an unconditional, universal basic income as a steadily rising AI dividend. The
future is not out of our hands. It is entirely within our hands, and up to our
collective decision-making to benefit or hurt us.'
