As AI technology advances, it is anticipated to replace millions of jobs across various sectors in the coming years. In San Mateo County, efforts led by Supervisor Ray Mueller focus on tracking job losses due to AI. The resolution emphasizes the need for a balance between AI implementation and human jobs. Supervisor Mueller questions whether job losses in agencies, such as the probation department, can be justified and pushes for innovations that would create new roles for humans, thus ensuring the technology serves the community effectively rather than solely prioritizing efficiency and profits.
"Pattern recognition is something AI is very good at. So, we are seeing studies where AI is able to identify cancer and things like that even more effectively than all best radiologists."
"If AI is all about profits, bottom line, and efficiency, and it moves so quickly that people are getting left behind, then what does it really serve?"
"Can you think of 10 new jobs for humans that will improve services delivery to residents? That's going to actually help our residents but at the same time, make sure that we're not eliminating jobs for the sake of implementing technology within our probation as a job."
"If you are utilizing this technology, can that worker be trained to oversee it?"
