: How were job losses tackled after industrial revolution.

572 views

Recent AI discussions makes it almost certain that jobs would be affected. It makes me wonder what happened when suddenly humans were replaced by machines. Assuming a lot of jobs were lost was it that lots of people suddenly found it difficult to afford meals or was it not disastrous at all and was a smoot h transition? Can we compare it to today’s AI revolution in terms of adjustment with jobs?

Total jobs required went up, not down. The way that AI will work is going to do the same, of course. The problem is that people before a revolution can’t know what life will be like afterwards, so they see the jobs that will be eliminated without realizing how different the whole landscape will be – they can’t see the increased jobs that will be created.
