What's happening

Bill Gates warned that society faces an "AI-pocalypse" unless we become more socialist, arguing AI and robots are advancing faster than people think and we are not prepared for a world where the majority may be out of work. That contrasts with Erik Brynjolfsson, who says an AI "job apocalypse" is unlikely. Andrew Yang also flagged displacement risk, saying AI is set to displace millions of workers and that America is 'terrible at retraining' workers, noting 'the coal miners did not become coders.'
