“We Must Act Now,” is a just released statement signed by more than 200 economists, AI researchers, and Nobel laureates. Other signers included executives from Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI. The statement noted that: “AI may become radically more powerful over the next 10 years.” It went on to say that…”This could drive an unprecedented transformation of our economy, larger than the Industrial Revolution, but unfolding over a vastly shorter time frame. It could bring risks, including large-scale job displacement, as well as opportunities such as major gains in living standards.”The statement concluded: “Economists, policymakers and technology leaders must act now to understand the economics of transformative AI and to build the incentives, guardrails, and institutions needed to steer AI in a direction that complements humans and benefits society.” #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #jobs #employment #careers #labor #economy #regulations
