AI and the future of economics
Examining Historical Patterns and Heuristics, Evidence, Roadblocks and Potential for an Abundant Future
Face the Reality of AI: Challenge Fears and Embrace a New Future.
It is important to remember that, although we have been wrong in the past when predicting that new technologies would threaten jobs and throw our economic and social balance into chaos, this time could be different. Therefore, rather than solely relying on the historical pattern heuristic, we must also think critically about the evidence before us.
Rapid advancements in AI and robotics have led to solid inductive arguments supporting unprecedented change on the horizon, where new technology renders human labor irrelevant to an exponentially growing amount of tasks. Therefore, to prepare for what may lie ahead, we must take a systematic, rational-minded look at the potential impact of AI and robotics on human labor.

Wherever people choose to believe human life is an end-in-itself, I stand with them. I write about the dangers of cynicism and the need to address the underlying root cause of disengagement. I propose an alternative value system and encourage taking a stand for the value of human life.
