Navigating the Fears and Realities of AI
In our latest discussion, cognitive scientist Hagen Blix and I dissect the complex narratives surrounding AI. Is it merely a productivity tool, or a deeper threat to our wages and skills?
Key Insights:
- AI as a Wage Depression Tool: Blix argues that AI technologies often serve to lower wages rather than enhance productivity, prioritizing corporate control over employee empowerment.
- Cultural Resonance: Public fear about AI isn’t unfounded; it echoes in the narratives of industry disruption and job insecurity as seen in recent strikes across creative sectors.
- Urgent Call for Solidarity: It’s crucial to unite as workers to push back against the pervasive deskilling and enshittification of our jobs.
AI, like past industrial revolutions, holds both potential and peril. Let’s engage, discuss, and learn how we can harness technology for the benefit of all, not just the few.
