The economists warn about AI: it transforms jobs, it does not lead to mass unemployment. The main challenge is the unequal distribution of benefits and the adaptation of workers.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has advanced rapidly, influencing the way people interact with information. Although fears about mass unemployment are common, economists emphasize that the true long-term risk is different. Despite AI advancements, unemployment remains low in large economies, and history shows that technology eliminates some jobs but creates new ones. AI is not a sudden revolution, but a gradual transformation, with many professions becoming more valuable through its use. The main concern is that the benefits of AI are distributed unevenly, favoring skilled professionals and entrepreneurs, while others face difficulties in leveraging technology. This dynamic can create economic divisions, with workers stuck in low-productivity jobs. Economist Renaud Foucart emphasizes the need for societies to help workers improve their skills, so they do not become subservient to machines.
