Unions and labor advocates are mobilizing not only in response to the recent surge of inflation, but also to get ahead of recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and other technologies. But will the march of technology breathe new life into organized labor, or will it further empower employers?
As with social media, the incentives around AI are aligned for rent extraction, where large companies, acting as intermediaries, amass profits at others’ expense. Governments urgently need to step in to ensure that the technology is being designed and brought to market in ways that will serve the common good.
Although recent advances in artificial intelligence have raised concerns about disinformation, deepfakes, and looming job losses, such risks must be weighed against the likely benefits. For a large, still-young developing country like India, the technology's potential to bridge current development gaps is difficult to overstate.
Given the outsize impact of US-China competition on East Asian countries, even slightly improved bilateral ties would bode well in the near term. Nonetheless, new risks and political arrangements ensure that the region will continue to be characterized by great-power rivalry and many flashpoints.
While hand-wringing about AI's implications for work and labor markets is understandable, economic history and current data make clear that the most common fears are largely overblown. Current applications are nowhere near levels that can threaten jobs or even have a noticeable effect on productivity statistics.
Around the world, policymakers are coming to grips with the implications of artificial intelligence and its role in the broader digital and tech ecosystem. While different countries have different priorities and governance structures, all have reasons to worry about the technology's potential to cause harm.
As policymakers and regulators around the world grapple with recent developments in artificial intelligence, they should look to the European Union for a basic model of how to balance freedom and safety. The key is to focus not on the technology but on the risks likely to accompany its various uses.
The current AI boom looks a lot like the tech industry's rebound 30 years ago, when the commercialization of the internet ended an earlier period of malaise. But whereas the internet era fundamentally disrupted the technology industry, AI promises to make Big Tech stronger than ever.
Artificial intelligence is almost certainly revolutionary in the sense that it will spawn new technology platforms, transform or eliminate many industries, and create new ones. But it must be understood as belonging to a larger, more mature technological revolution that began a half-century ago.
When it comes to leveraging technology to foster shared prosperity, China in recent years has offered preliminary lessons about what to avoid. An increasingly rigid political environment is offsetting the gains from innovation by introducing unnecessary inefficiencies and legal uncertainty, as well as stoking social inequality.
The “depoliticization” of economic discourse is a political project aimed at foreclosing any viable alternative to capitalism. To empower workers and resist today’s exploitative capital order, we must revive the lost tradition of classical political economy.
Over the four decades of radical change that began with the PC-driven shift of the 1980s, the annual return on stocks has been only marginally higher than in the five preceding decades. AI will have a similar impact: it will produce a few big winners, but its net positive effect on markets overall will be surprisingly small.
