A corporate artificial intelligence frenzy is sowing fear for workers on a massive scale. Seventy-one percent of people in the U.S., according to a Reuters poll on A.I., are concerned “too many people will lose jobs.” Wall Street and Big Tech are running a huge hype machine to back up their massive, risky investment in A.I., pledging it will drive a “productivity surge,” meaning fewer workers and more profits. But workers can take heart that, so far, it’s mostly hot air. To date, A.I. is making few profits.
Given that current union management is just an arm of the corporate overlords, I expect the heads of unions to be replaced by AI shortly.
NOTE: the most important election in the US this year is NOT the phony mid-terms, but socialist Will Lehman running to lead the UAW. Spread the word, as the corrupt UAW management and sell-out Shawn Fain want to hide the fact that there is even an election being held. https://www.willforuawpresident.org/
