Should we – or can we – slow down progress to ensure that everyone is able to keep up with it? That is the apparent question on the minds of many, as newspaper articles and commentators point to the fear that artificial intelligence will lead to human beings being replaced.
The question is well-intended, and based on a sense of compassion. But rather than expressing concern about those who may be left behind, it expresses condescension. It assumes that rather than being able to take advantage of AI, people will be overwhelmed by it. But the fact is, we’ve been engaged for centuries in a process of delegating routine tasks to technology, freeing us to focus on more creative functions.
A study by the research firm Gartner demonstrates that the result of AI is not fewer jobs, but more. It concludes that by 2020, AI will generate 2.3 million jobs, exceeding the roughly 1.8 million jobs it will make redundant. By 2025 net new jobs will reach 2 million, the study found.
