Curbing the AI Threat Requires Government Intervention Now, Not Later

Economists’ prediction that work will stay plentiful over the next 20 years (through the true AI boom) is less reassuring, especially over a long horizon. Money is already consolidating in the companies set to benefit from AI, and the current construct means it will stay there and never be allocated back to the average worker (you and your family).
3 things must happen to soften the impending and inevitable blow:
1. Higher taxes on capital and lower taxes on labor.
2. Public wage insurance, which smooths out falls in income after job losses as workers find better opportunities (and therefore eventually pays for itself).
3. Tax reforms to establish inheritance tax for the ultra wealthy to prevent the entrenchment of capital-owning elites (the true 1%).
I’m sure the average poster will not be too adversely affected given our average age. But those with children are handing them a world that will be vastly different than the one we grew up in.

AI is a tool, and industry will have to adjust. Besides, the government is all-in on AI if you really want to know

What?
Like government sponsored?
So if I left my job today I could go work at Walmart and get reimbursed the pay difference?
Yeah...this wouldn't be abused in the least.

Funny how often “solutions” just so happen to align with socialism. Guess we’ve moved on from trying to use climate change as the lever for socialism.

And not a single source was had.
I think I'll wait for smarter people than you to start raising the alarm... like my son's kindergarten class.

Ditto. Immediately downvoted because the premise is frickin retarded. The government isn't going to slow anything down on the development of AI because it is a technological race they figure the US should win at all cost. As usual, the user RFK displays staggering stupidity.

Way too late

The government is just as likely as anyone to use AI in nefarious ways against you. What on earth makes you think they would be an effective guardrail?

Exactly.

Too late. The genie is already out of the bottle. We’re fricked. Good luck and God bless.

AI will benefit those who know how to interact with AI. Those who know how to ask AI problem solving type questions will prosper. On the flip side a lot of lower and middling level white collar jobs are going to be filled by AI agents over the coming years.
