The article discusses the profound impact of AI on the global labor market, highlighting that while many jobs may be displaced, particularly in creative industries, there is potential to use AI to augment human work. The author expresses concern that many are overlooking the depth of these changes and stresses the urgency to harness AI's capabilities to create better work opportunities rather than allowing benefits to concentrate among a few algorithm owners. Many professions, like voice acting and illustration, are already facing significant disruptions due to rapid advancements in AI technology.
Yet the displacement is already underway. Voice actors, for instance, are watching their profession vanish as AI models, trained on countless hours of human audio, can now generate natural-sounding voices at a fraction of the cost.
An economic earthquake is coming that will permanently alter the landscape of human work yet few in power are recognizing what's happening, let alone doing anything about it.
