Deep dives
The Broken Labor Market and AI's Role
The labor market is fundamentally broken, characterized by a lack of transparency, dynamism, and equity. Historically, employment systems have been shaped by human choices rather than natural processes, leading to exploitative practices and biases based on pedigree and social connections. The advent of AI is predicted to challenge this established system, necessitating a skills-first approach where job roles are defined by tasks rather than titles. This shift toward a more meritocratic system will allow for a greater focus on human-centric skills, encouraging innovation and adaptability within the workforce.
