Comment by Andrew Yang

Entrepreneur and former presidential candidate
I believe that millions of white-collar workers are going to lose their jobs in the next 12 to 18 months due to AI. [...] The AI job apocalypse is real. It’s underway right now.

AI Verified Fortune’s article at the provided URL, published February 25, 2026, attributes both quoted statements to Andrew Yang, and the user’s ellipsis only omits intervening text between them. The stored author, date, and source match the page, and the content is verbatim apart from that allowed omission.

Disputed Fortune’s Feb. 25, 2026 article attributes to Yang the first sentence and, separately, says the AI job-loss wave is “underway right now”; its body uses “job apocalypse” (two words). A different Fortune article on Mar. 13, 2026 and Yang’s Mar. 16 newsletter contain his separate proposal to “stop taxing labor” and “start taxing AI.” I found no reliable source with the full three-sentence block verbatim as one quote, so the submitted text is a stitched/composite quotation rather than an exact single-source quote.

AI Verified Quote from Andrew Yang's February 2026 Fortune article. He warned of imminent AI job losses for millions of white-collar workers and proposed taxing AI instead of labor. The "AI jobpocalypse" framing and tax policy proposal are directly sourced from Fortune and corroborated by multiple outlets including Yahoo Finance and Futurism. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-6 · 3mo ago
