: How were job losses tackled after industrial revolution.

532 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?

A lot of migration and urbanization happened. Lot more manufacturing jobs were created, while lots of agricultural and artisanal jobs became useless. And of course some people were pissed, thats where the Luddite movement came from. But, overall, everyone were better off in the end and it’s going to be the same with whatever advancements AI manages.
