The private sector in the United States is currently pursuing a path for generative A.I. that emphasizes automation and the displacement of labor, along with intrusive workplace surveillance.
A major focus of A.I. research is to attain human parity in a vast range of cognitive tasks and, more generally, to achieve artificial general intelligence that fully mimics and then surpasses capabilities of the human mind.
There is no guarantee that the transformative capabilities of generative A.I. will be used for the betterment of work or workers. The bias leans toward automation over augmentation.
To redirect A.I. development onto the human-complementary path requires changes in technological innovation, corporate norms, federal priorities, and public understanding.
