El apocalipsis laboral de la IA se pospone (por ahora)
Los expertos vislumbran más cambios cualitativos (reconversión de empleos, dificultades para los jóvenes) que cuantitativos (despidos masivos), pese a las predicciones catastrofistas de la industria, y alertan del alza de la desigualdad
The "Apocalypse of Labor in the Age of AI" is being delayed for now, according to a recent article. This epic, akin to the three versions of the Book of Revelation in the Bible, warns of the potential impacts of artificial intelligence (AI). Firstly, there is the fear of autonomous, killing machines driven by AI, reminiscent of Stanley Kubrick's 2001.
Secondly, there is the bubble economy, where unrealistic expectations inflate financial bubbles to dangerous levels, reminiscent of the Great Recession. Lastly, there is the concern over the loss of jobs, particularly among highly educated workers, which could lead to a global depression, astronomical inequality, and a mix of techno-fatalism, resentment, and rage.
Although utopias and dystopias are popular in literature, they often obscure the reality of the situation. These hyperbolic visions are often promoted by the very companies and governments that stand to gain power and profits from them.
