Podcast: Don’t Believe the Hype About AI Job Displacement
LSE Philosophy Associate Professor Kate Vredenburgh and VR specialist Lauren Wong joined the Ethical Machines podcast by Reid Blackman to discuss the true impact of AI on jobs.
The two experts argue that there are at least two strong reasons for calming down: first, AI isn’t good enough to replace us at our jobs. Second, even if they were, it’s up to us to develop AI in a way that supports rather than replaces us. They also talk about whether AI adoption is suffering for the same reasons the metaverse was never successful: we’re failing to appreciate how to get people to justifiably buy in to the technology.
The podcast is available on various platforms.
