Why AI Is NOT Stealing Your Job

AI is not directly responsible for job losses; corporate decisions within the current economic system are the true cause. Productivity gains from technology can either lead to mass layoffs or reduced working hours for everyone, a choice determined by politics and labor power. Historically, these gains have primarily increased profits and shareholder value rather than benefiting workers with more leisure time or higher wages. The fundamental issue is not the technology itself, but how its economic benefits are distributed. Therefore, the focus should be on advocating for policies and structures that ensure these gains are shared broadly, rather than resisting AI.
