AI neither creates nor destroys jobs; social management decides the future
The article discusses the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on society and employment, emphasizing that the narrative surrounding AI is critical for political ideologies, particularly for the left.
The author reflects on various opinions regarding artificial intelligence (AI) after a week of consuming content on the subject, presenting a range of perspectives that oscillate between viewing AI as a transformative force for good and a concerning threat to job security. A crucial theme in the article is the emerging narrative around AI, which has become a focal point of discussion among intellectuals on social media, particularly revealing a perceived narrative void on the left, which they believe may result in a disadvantage in the ongoing discourse about the implications of AI technology. Consequently, while the right appears to navigate discussions surrounding AI more effectively, the left struggles to articulate its stance, which could lead to a vacuum in addressing how social structures respond to these technological advancements.
Ultimately, the author posits that the real issue is not about right or left perspectives on technology itself, but rather how societies are organized and managed in the context of these tools. This highlights the need for both sides to establish a clear and coherent narrative on AI that aligns with their values regarding social organization. The discussion also serves as a call to action for the left to develop a more robust approach to engage with the challenges and opportunities presented by AI, emphasizing the importance of social management over the technology itself.
