Navigating the AI Landscape: Utopia or Collapse?
As AI evolves, two stark futures emerge: a techno-utopia where humans thrive in creativity, or a looming collapse where jobs vanish and society falters. Yet, what lies between these extremes deserves attention.
Key Considerations:
-
Shift from Wages to Value: If AI truly outperforms human labor, traditional wage systems become obsolete, threatening demand.
-
Impact on Consumption: With no wages, who funds consumer demand? This raises questions about capitalism’s future.
-
Historical Context: Unlike past automation, AI disrupts cognitive roles, altering how we view labor and intelligence.
-
Economic Models in Flux:
- Is Universal Basic Income (UBI) enough?
- Will we shift towards state-mediated consumption?
- What’s the relevance of GDP when production decouples from employment?
