""It's not just economics," Sanders wrote in an op-ed for Fox News in conjunction with the report release. "Work, whether being a janitor or a brain surgeon, is an integral part of being human. The vast majority of people want to be productive members of society and contribute to their communities. What happens when that vital aspect of human existence is removed from our lives?""
"AI isn't just coming for low-wage or entry-level jobs-it could erase nearly 100 million of them across the U.S. over the next decade. That's according to a new report from Senator Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) that warns that "artificial labor" could upend the economy faster than the world is prepared for. Fast-food and customer service workers could see more than 80% of their roles disappear, while even high-skilled jobs like accounting, software development, and nursing will also likely face sharp cuts."
Artificial intelligence could eliminate nearly 100 million U.S. jobs over the next decade, with the largest losses concentrated in low-wage sectors. Fast-food and customer service roles could decline by more than 80 percent, while accounting, software development, and nursing also face substantial cuts. Tech billionaires and corporate leaders stand to benefit as AI replaces more expensive human labor. The AI rollout across nearly every sector will make career pivots increasingly difficult because AI can displace both existing jobs and potential new jobs. Work provides social and personal meaning, raising profound questions about identity and contribution if mass displacement occurs.
