Eh, the same predictions have been made since I was in college in the 90s (and probably before that). Naw, it's not that close. We've still got at least a couple of decades of the current economic paradigm. Universal Basic Income wouldn't work for it. |
I think the strides that AI is making today, not tomorrow, is showing just how close we are to a huge disruption in the jobs market. We're a world away from the 90s...
Driver-less cars and trucks will absolutely come in within the next 10 years - there are working prototypes already out there - the software isn't quite there yet, but if we look at the acceleration of improvement it really does seem just around the corner. You really think it's gonna take them another 20 years to get it over the line?
AI is also poised to replace millions of call centre jobs, not to mention the huge amounts of jobs and businesses Amazon continues to render redundant by it's continued harnessing of technology and automation...
Hell, here in the UK, there must have been a tonne of jobs lost just by the introduction of self-check throughs in every supermarket.
