Experts Speak: No Evidence Shows AI Causing Mass Layoffs, Companies Should Not Follow the Trend Blindly
Alex Imaas, the head of economics at Google DeepMind, pointed out that there is currently no evidence to suggest that AI has caused job losses or mass unemployment among white-collar workers. The employment situation in the software engineering industry has also not significantly changed. He believes that AI mainly handles repetitive tasks, helping employees focus on tasks that machines cannot perform, thus alleviating concerns about the impact on employment.
