200 Nobel laureates and big tech leaders warn AI job shock must be prepared for now
About 200 economists, big tech executives and AI researchers have released an open letter urging governments and industry to prepare policies for the possibility that AI will replace large numbers of jobs. Led by Stanford Digital Economy Lab, the letter says AI could become far more powerful over the next decade and that institutions and safeguards must be built quickly. It calls for analyzing AI’s economic impact and designing incentives and protections to spread productivity gains while reducing employment risks.
