These are things that are superhuman, and we think this will be in every industry, will probably replace 50% of human jobs, create a huge amount of wealth for mankind, and wipe out poverty.

Updated quote from undated 2018 Voices in AI episode to recent 2024 Fortune interview where Kai-Fu Lee reaffirmed his 50% job displacement prediction. Multiple search sources confirm the verbatim quote about AI replacing 50% of human jobs and his "uncannily accurate" reaffirmation in May 2024. The "against" vote on "AI will create more jobs than it destroys" aligns with Lee's consistent skepticism about job creation outpacing displacement — he believes displaced routine jobs cannot be readily replaced by the skilled jobs AI creates. Author attribution (AI entrepreneur and author) is correct.
