AI's potential to replace numerous jobs, including high-skilled positions, raises concerns about future work dynamics. History has shown humanity's ability to adapt to challenging changes, such as automation and technological advancements. However, the advent of AI and its integration with human activities is unprecedented. Past expectations of technology creating more leisure time have often led to increased work demands instead. As society faces the emergence of artificial general and super-intelligence, a reevaluation of how to integrate human development with AI is crucial to find purpose and direction amidst rapid changes.
AI and robots have the capability to replace many jobs performed by humans, including high-skill jobs. We need to integrate the parallel tracks of AI and human development and help people search for meaning.
History has shown that we can adjust to new circumstances, often thrust upon us by events beyond our control. Throughout the ages, humanity has faced sickness, plagues, wars, economic collapse, and political upheavals. Yet, we have always found the resolve to carry on.
In the 1970s, many people believed that computers would do most of their work, leaving them with more leisure time to spend with friends and explore the outdoors.
Now we are faced with artificial general intelligence (human-like reasoning) and artificial super-intelligence (surpassing human intelligence). Again, we hear the promise that AI will give us more freedom and leisure time.
