“Countries don’t need you for tax revenue. Corporations don’t need you for your labor. Because it’s coming from AI.”
That’s the warning from filmmaker Daniel Kwan and tech ethicist Tristan Harris. In this episode of “Adventures in AI,” Kwan and Harris examine how artificial intelligence is reshaping the global economy, from what Harris calls “the intelligence curse” to the financial incentives driving AI companies “to replace every form of human economic labor in the economy.” The question, they argue, is not whether this happens, but how we act before it does.
