AI will create more jobs than it destroys

I know there’s a lot of concern that many people have, including many smart people, that AI is going to make humans redundant and so on. I totally disagree with this point of view. And I think, in fact, AI is going to create a labor shortage.

While AI is changing the workforce, current evidence indicates it is doing so by shifting and creating jobs, not replacing them.

People talk about AI reducing jobs — complete nonsense. It’s causing more software engineers to be hired, and the reason for that is very simple. [...] If you can hire a software engineer and you could generate $9 trillion worth of productive work, w...

The 'AI job loss' narratives are all fake. AI = massive ramp in productivity = massive ramp in demand = massive jobs boom.

I see AI as a modern-day Akshaya Patra — the legendary vessel in Mahabharata that provided endless nourishment to all. Likewise, AI offers limitless augmentation in knowledge, efficiency and productivity. [...] Fourth — We will prove that AI does not...

AI is ultimately going to result in more job gains than losses, but in the process it's going to break down millions of careers.

There will be no AI jobpocalypse. [...] While there are examples of AI taking away jobs, the trends strongly suggest the net job creation is vastly greater than the job destruction — just like earlier waves of technology. [...] There will be an AI jo...

No technology ever leads to lost jobs. It creates new jobs, but of a different kind.

I'm an AI optimist. I think it's going to create more jobs than it destroys.

They were the original white collar displacements. New companies with new jobs will come from AI and increase TOTAL employment.

This whole fear that technology will take away jobs is not right. It will create a different kind of job.

Will we have fewer people because of the rise of these traditional GenAI technologies? Our belief is not so, and we will have more people.

I think the argument that there will be net fewer jobs at the end of this current technological revolution is not supported by historical precedent.

you're going to get more work, which means you're going to need more people. [...] I fundamentally believe we'll get more jobs.

Our analysis suggests the same will be true of AI [...] While some jobs may be displaced, many more are likely to be created

It will instead likely create more new jobs than it destroys and will create occupations that didn’t exist before.

automation, including this AI, will create more jobs than it destroys. It will take a lot of jobs away. [...] So there will be jobs.

The use of AI systems will supplement human systems and not replace them [...] generating more jobs in the future.

I don’t believe it will achieve a higher displacement over creation ratio by 2025. [...] have surprisingly led to more job creation [...].

My position is basically historical. [...] technological unemployment has never been a long-term reality. [...] unlikely that new productivity technologies will destroy more jobs than they create.

Historically, technology has created more jobs than it destroys and there is no reason to think otherwise in this case.

It’s time to take a deep breath and stop panicking [...] for jobs. No, AI won’t destroy more jobs than it creates.

Undoubtedly, AI will usher in new tasks and occupations, many of which are impossible for us to conceive of today. [...] In a recent speech, I discussed the possibility that job displacement may precede job creation such that the unemployment rate ma...

One camp sees a “job apocalypse” and mass unemployment ahead; the other sees a great leap forward for society. Put me in the second camp — with a few caveats.

The main place that you see job loss due to AI is in the press releases that companies are putting out

The claim that AI will produce economy-wide, permanent unemployment is unhelpful marketing, bad economics and worse history. To the contrary, productivity gains should increase demand for labor, because labor becomes more valuable.

Of course AI will absolutely eliminate some tasks and compress some roles, but the claim that AI will produce economy-wide, permanent unemployment is unhelpful marketing, bad economics and worse history. [...] The future is cheaper intelligence, bigg...

While generative AI has expanded the scope for automation, its primary effect is democratizing expertise, enabling more people to perform knowledge work with less training. [...] AI is positioned to be a massive engine for job creation rather than a ...

By 2030, 170 million new jobs are projected to be created globally while 92 million roles are likely to be displaced, resulting in a net increase of 78 million jobs. Shifting global trends in technology, economy, demographics and the green transition...

The data says that we created way more jobs than were eliminated [...] AI’s going to change all of our jobs — mostly in a positive way.

I think it's somewhat unlikely that more jobs will be destroyed than created for the first time.

They will displace many jobs but the rate of job creation will outpace this. Why is uncertain—it always has [...].

Some classes of jobs will be handed over to the ‘immigrants’ of AI and Robotics, but more will have been generated.

the evidence on how AI is affecting the labor market today is inconclusive, and claims about harmful impacts on particular groups of workers are premature.

AI is thus a general-purpose technology that can automate work in virtually every occupation. It stands in contrast to other technologies such as computerisation and industrial robotics, which only allow a limited set of tasks to be automated by impl...

The financing for new models is coming from investors, and those investors are making a bet that the AI they're funding will be so good that employers can fire half their workers and replace them with AI, with the proceeds split between AI companies'...

I believe that millions of white-collar workers are going to lose their jobs in the next 12 to 18 months due to AI. [...] AI is now able to do the work of a very, very smart human in minutes or even seconds. This is going to displace marketers, coder...

AI-centric start-ups with radically new business models displace firms that are unable to adapt, and layoffs soar, leading to widespread unemployment in the short run and declines in labor force participation over time, as a large share of the popula...

They're not racing to augment and support human workers. They're racing to replace human workers. And what that will lead to is unprecedented levels of concentration and wealth and power because essentially, all the money in the economy - instead of ...

AI and robots will replace all jobs. Working will be optional, like growing your own vegetables, instead of buying them from the store.

What’s actually going to happen is rich people are going to use AI to replace workers [...] It’s going to create massive unemployment and a huge rise in profits. It will make a few people much richer and most people poorer. That’s not AI’s fault, tha...

My belief is it is 100% crap, [...] The one thing they don’t think of is AI will replace them too,

As AI becomes more established [...] it could end up destroying more jobs than it creates. [...] This is a concern for us all.

it seems very unlikely that there will be enough of these new positions to absorb all the workers displaced from more predictable work [...]

[...] machine agents is precisely that they will replace more (lower-paid) humans than the number of (more highly-paid) humans needed to build and maintain the machines.

This is [...] happening [...]. In general, the jobs loss will not likely be matched by the jobs created, thus creating a net loss of jobs overall.

We have [...] witnessed the effects [...] on the labor force. Similarly—[...] artificial intelligence (AI) applications [...] will have displaced more jobs than they have created by 2025.

AI has the potential to lift workers up, but right now, too many companies are using it as cover to push workers out [...]

[AI's rise is] dead certain to eliminate jobs.

We're already seeing that the intelligence tools we're creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. [...] I think most companies are...

70% think AI will lead to fewer jobs. They are right.

I think it will destroy way, way more jobs than it creates [...]. Because AI is a thousand times smarter than the smartest doctor, right?

During that time span there is likely to be more technological displaced workers than there are jobs created from the integration of artificial intelligence.

The rapid replacement of jobs by machines/artifical intelligence will lead to the need for a Universal Basic Income.

The ethical issues related to the possible future creation of machines with general intellectual capabilities far outstripping those of humans are quite distinct from any ethical problems arising in current automation and information systems. Such su...
