I’ve been reading Emil Skandul’s piece on AI’s impact on the global economy. It’s fascinating to see how AI could disrupt millions of jobs while unlocking massive opportunities. Skandul makes a compelling case for urgent workforce reskilling. The future is coming at us faster than I expected.
A compelling quote from the article is: “I do not think we’ll see mass unemployment,” Brynjolfsson, who anticipates AI spreading faster than other general-purpose technologies, told me. “But I do think we’ll see mass disruption, where a lot of wages for some jobs will fall, wages for other jobs will rise, and we’ll be shifting around into demand for different kinds of skills. They’ll have to be a lot of reallocation of labor and rescaling of labor with winners and losers.”
