Racist.Not trying to get too political in the fun house but Andrew Yang is the only candidate I've seen addressing job loss to AI. It still remains "on the horizon" so to speak but it's hard to say how long we've got until there's a sudden and profound shift in employment.
Kidding.
The unknown factor about AI is the rate at which it will progress. The theory on AI is that as it learns more, it will begin to exponentially progress. So if AI does what people think it’s capable of doing, it will progress at a much more rapid rate than we ever realized simply because it becomes so smart, so fast. So while we think truck drivers(Ron’s example) jobs are secure for another 10-15-20 years, the reality is, it may be much sooner. We already have Uber driverless cars. We aren’t too far off.
Isn’t Yang also the candidate that is proposing that all Americans should start being paid a monthly stipend to help people start “saving” for impending job losses? Something to that affect.
