Surfing the Tsunami: Chapter 3 - If You Need Convincing to Take Action: Consider Data on AI's Impact on the Job Market
This chapter wants the readers to approach data analysis and have perspectives on AI with an open mind. The author acknowledges different viewpoints and suggests considering different viewpoints than your own. There are three different viewpoints that the author wants you to focus on. They are the optimist, the pessimist, and the realist. Each viewpoint is presented with specific questions to consider while reading.
For the Optimist:
1. Could the impact of AI be larger and faster than previous technologies due to the digital nature of work?
2. In the short and long term, could AI create fewer jobs compared to those it replaces?
3. Is it important for everyone to take action, adapt, adopt AI, and become adept in AI?
For the Pessimist:
1. Considering studies like McKinsey's, is it possible that AI and automation could create more jobs than they replace?
2. If there is significant job loss and economic inequality, what responses should individuals, companies, and governments support (e.g., investing in workforce redevelopment, infrastructure, renewable energy)? Should there be regulation or wealth redistribution?
3. Is it important for everyone to take action, adapt, adopt AI, and become adept in AI?
For the Realist:
1. Based on the data, is it possible that the impact of AI may be larger and faster than previous technologies?
2. Is it important for everyone to take action, adapt, adopt AI, and become adept in AI?
3. If convinced to take action, should it be limited to personal life or extended to advocating for AI on a broader scale?
