: How were job losses tackled after industrial revolution.

557 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?

The Industrial revolution was a pretty brutal past-time; it sky-rocketed our production capabilities but the workforce itself was heavily abused as a result.

Laws & regulations exist because of the advent of the industrial revolution, these won’t change and as a result the AI revolution won’t be nearly as negatively impacting as the Industrial revolution.

Will it impact lives? 100% a lot of careers will be hit and folks will effectively be forced to move forward without a sufficient legal framework to protect them.

If you are a voice-actor today and planning to make a career out of that… best start looking to updating your contracts yesterday and trying to get ahead of the curve and selling your voice as some form of licensed pack; this ensures you are always compensated.

An artist? Stop using common’s licenses that don’t protect your work against AI ingestion, simply indicating that XYZ images can’t be used for training / analysis even if it doesn’t guarantee you legal ground today it might tomorrow.

Digital works on the internet without a license / copyright / etc. are largely in a gray area; it’s better to be explicit about how your work can be used and how attribution should occur.
