Artificial Intelligence is a newer form of technology that seems to threaten our day to day lives. In review of the documentary In the Age of AI, it truly surprises me how much is at stake with the advancement of AI technology. As this technology grows, the regularity of our day-to-day lives is threatened.
The biggest concern is the threat to job security. More and more jobs are being taken over by AI programs. Not only does this affect employees, but it also affects the consumer experience. AI ultimately removes face-to-face interaction from certain services. Additionally, the documentary shared that primarily jobs held by women are the one's being taken over by AI technology.
As our country moves towards advanced AI technology, the experience and education needed for actual jobs will become less accessible and more expensive, creating a job market for only people in a certain socio-economic class. This reinforces a discriminatory hiring environment for even more job positions.
AI is helping push our economy into an increasingly bigger wealth gap. Our society has rapidly moved to create a greater inequality between wealthy and non-wealthy individuals. While AI is not the single cause, with AI being applied to various job positions, inequality is even greater than before. This puts power in our top one percent, leading accessibility and sustainability for the middle class to decrease.
AI is now becoming more and more adaptable. As AI grows and becomes a better service to us, the threat is even greater to our society. It is becoming an even larger concern to our middle and lower class individuals and families.
If our economy were to continue at this rate, we would shift into an economic crash. Additionally, it would be even harder for those not in our top percent to recover and live comfortably.
