Will Europe face mass unemployment without ownership of AGI and robots?
Jerry Kaplan agrees and says:
These are very powerful technologies, just as those machines in the 1940s were very powerful in terms of their ability to do calculations. What this will do is create a great deal of wealth. The question is, who gets that wealth? The problem is this particular technology, for all of its benefits and for all the ways it is going to make life more pleasant and cheaper and generate a great deal of wealth, is going to generate most of that wealth for a very small group of people who are the ones who can afford to invest in that automation. [...] There will just be much less jobs than there are people, no matter how you shuffle it. (2016) source Unverified
