The Impact of AI on Employment, Creativity, and Society

The rise of generative AI is transforming various sectors and impacting human employment, creativity, and socialization. While AI is often framed as a path to a utopian future, its negative impacts cannot be ignored. AI is being rapidly implemented across sectors, creating a surveillance grid that logs and analyzes every aspect of our lives. However, the dominance of AI by Silicon Valley overlords and military-intelligence partnerships raises concerns. The massive layoffs in legacy media and the replacement of journalists by generative AI pose a threat to independent media. The increased use of AI in media and the potential for censorship pose challenges for information flow and control.
