Will AI take our jobs?
Position1 of 3›

No: there will always be jobs for humans

This position holds that AI will not take all our jobs—there will always be work for humans. It argues capitalism keeps creating new opportunities for labour, that displacement by technology is historically normal, and that exponential growth never lasts forever.

  1. Exponential growth never lasts
    AI and computer technology is just like all other growth - it has an end-point
  2. Capitalism won't allow for the end of work because of AI
    Capitalism will not allow for the end of work as AI becomes more common in the workplace. For example, new jobs will emerge to manage and control AI. Jobs will not disappear, they will evolve to reflect developing technology.
  3. Labour displacement is normal
    Technology has always resulted in the displacement of human labour
