The introduction of artificial intelligence has changed the world forever. AI has its benefits in the workplace, like increasing speed, and efficiency, reducing human error, aiding in decision making, and taking on repetitive tasks. But one of the major downsides is the massive loss of employment for real human beings. One report found that AI could replace the equivalent of 300 million full-time jobs.
One television news production worker shared how they were recently told their entire crew would be replaced with robots. The only person that was saved was the manager. “That’s 20 jobs lost and 0 gained for our station,” wrote the employee. The post has sparked massive debate around the impact that artificial intelligence is having on people’s livelihoods.
