"Artificial intelligence will displace so many jobs that it will eliminate the need for mass immigration, according to Palantir Technologies Inc. Chief Executive Officer Alex Karp. There will be more than enough jobs for the citizens of your nation, especially those with vocational training, said Karp, speaking at a World Economic Forum panel in Davos, Switzerland on Tuesday. I do think these trends really do make it hard to imagine why we should have large-scale immigration unless you have a very specialized skill."
"Karp, who holds a PhD in philosophy, used himself as an example of the type of elite white-collar worker most at risk of disruption. Vocational workers will be more valuable if not irreplaceable, he said, criticizing the idea that higher education is the ultimate benchmark of a person's talents and employability. Karp described himself as a card-carrying progressive, though he expressed views sympathetic to US President Donald Trump's agenda, and his data analytics company maintains close ties to the country's immigration authorities and Defense Department."
Artificial intelligence will displace many jobs and eliminate the need for mass immigration. There will be more than enough jobs for citizens, especially those with vocational training. Elite white-collar workers face significant disruption, while vocational workers will become more valuable or irreplaceable. Higher education is criticized as an inadequate benchmark for talent and employability. Palantir maintains close ties to US immigration authorities and the Defense Department, and those relationships have provoked protests. Palantir has supplied services to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement enabling officials to build dossiers, and it has defense tie-ups worldwide. The company's value has risen sharply to about $400 billion.
