Deep dives

AI as a Tool for Social Leveling

There is a belief that AI could help marginalized people and lead to social leveling. Will I Am, the rapper, sees AI as a means to break down barriers and pull disadvantaged individuals into the mainstream economy. While concerns about job displacement and income inequality persist, some economists argue that AI will add trillions to global GDP. However, the impact of AI on jobs is still uncertain, with predictions suggesting it could change 40% of global jobs, primarily affecting developed countries. Despite the potential challenges, there is optimism that AI could disrupt elite professions, making headwork more accessible, and ushering in a more positive attitude towards AI in the developing world.
