Part 5/10:
As AI becomes more prevalent, Lee warns of dual narratives: the wealth it creates and the jobs it displaces. He outlines the potential for significant job displacement as routine and low-skill roles are automated. This shift could intensify wealth inequality, demanding that society has a strong safety net, like universal basic income (UBI), to absorb the shock of these changes.
He envisions a future where jobs are reallocated multiple times, necessitating a robust retraining system. This shift necessitates societal adaptations, where education must pivot to focus on skills that AI cannot easily replicate, such as creativity, empathy, and human connection.
