AI Could Outpace Humans by 2047, Raising Concerns Over Jobs and Meaningful Work
-
AI and automation could outperform humans in most tasks by 2047, much sooner than previously predicted. This could threaten many jobs.
-
AI should be designed as a collaboration tool to augment human skills rather than fully replace them.
-
Workers want meaningful jobs that allow time for family, not just higher wages. Lack of voice in technological changes causes resentment.
-
Sectoral bargaining could give unions more leverage in technological transitions. Countries with strong organized labor take a more "high road" approach.
-
Business leaders won't necessarily take the high road on their own. Shaping the future of work requires urgent and proactive effort.
