Maryam Al Thani on AI will create a permanent underclass

Maryam Al Thani

The AI-born economy is a redefinition of human work. The jobs that did not exist yesterday are not replacements for human effort. They are expressions of it, built for a world where machines handle the predictable and people handle everything else. That is not a smaller role for humanity in the workforce. In many ways, it is a larger and more meaningful one.
