Why the A.I. Job Apocalypse (Probably) Won’t Happen
A Quinnipiac poll found 70% of Americans believe AI will lead to fewer job opportunities, but economists are skeptical about mass joblessness. AI leaders warn of job losses, while data shows stable unemployment and booming demand for software engineers.
Seventy percent of Americans believe AI will lead to fewer job opportunities, according to a Quinnipiac poll. AI leaders, including Dario Amodei and Mustafa Suleyman, warn of significant job losses. However, economists are skeptical, citing stable unemployment rates and booming demand for software engineers. The unemployment rate was 4.3% in March, and average hourly earnings are stable.

As the rich get richer, they tend to seek more human interaction, not less.
