Generative AI technology, as argued by Mr. Autor, has the potential to reverse the trend of job displacement by restoring middle-scale jobs. The use of AI can transform high-stakes decision-making, enabling more people to undertake tasks currently performed by elite professionals like doctors and lawyers, thus boosting wages and uplifting more workers into the middle class. Mr. Autor believes that AI, trained on massive data troves, will not entirely replace human judgment but rather enhance the demand for industries like healthcare, software, education, and legal services, leading to the expansion of these sectors and increased affordability of their products and services.
