Professor of Economics, George Mason University & author of Average is Over
AI will not bring mass unemployment. But it will change most jobs. [...] When some people go up in status, and some go down in status, those who lose suffer more psychologically than those who gain.

Quote confirmed via Fortune article (May 22, 2026) and Fortune Magazine's X/Threads posts. Tyler Cowen made these statements at the Sana AI Summit in New York. The exact phrases 'AI will not bring mass unemployment' and 'But it will change most jobs' are widely quoted. The status loss psychological framing also matches his Fortune commentary. Fortune URL returned 403 but content corroborated by Yahoo Finance, GMU CHSS press, and Fortune's own social media. Vote 'for' on 'AI will create more jobs than it destroys' aligns with his core thesis that AI won't cause mass unemployment. Year 2026 matches.
