Regardless of whether AI will lead to a “job apocalypse” or make work optional, Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) is warning “the battle of our time will be AI”—and he predicts it’ll be particularly difficult for new grads entering the workforce, who face an 5.6% unemployment rate.
“I will bet anybody in the audience that goes to 30 or 35% within the next two years,” Warner said. “And if we don’t figure this out—I say this as a pro-AI, pro-tech guy—we’re going to get screwed.”
