Senate Wonders If AI Steals Jobs, Not Why We Let It
A Senate report, highlighted by Newsweek, warns of artificial intelligence obliterating 100 million jobs. This, from the same legislative body that just approved HR 815 , sending billions in aid to foreign conflicts while domestic programs face cuts and American workers brace for unprecedented technological upheaval. It’s almost as if some are more concerned with funding distant wars than
preventing a national economic and social catastrophe unfolding right here at home. One might wonder where the urgency is for legislation that guarantees retraining, universal basic income, or even just a coherent strategy for the average worker facing this tsunami. Instead, we get reports. It appears our elected officials are masters of observation, less so of proactive governance. They’ll
identify the cliff, write a report about it, and then cheerily wave as we all go over.
