Your job is (probably) safe from artificial intelligence

Generative AI technology has arrived, but financial markets and history suggest that AI-induced growth acceleration is unlikely. Monopolies are unlikely to dominate the industry, and job destruction by AI will likely happen slowly, as regulation slows down the adoption of technology.

  • Generative AI technology has arrived with chatbots, music, and text-to-video programs.
  • Expectations of AI-induced growth acceleration are not supported by financial markets.
  • History shows that new technology has not radically changed the economy by itself.
  • Generative AI has some monopolistic characteristics, but there is little chance of a single company dominating the industry.
  • Job destruction by AI will likely happen slowly, as regulation slows down the adoption of technology.
