On Monday, David Sacks endorsed David Solomon's argument that concerns over artificial intelligence (AI) triggering widespread unemployment are exaggerated.
AI Fears Over ‘Job Apocalypse' Rejected
Sacks signaled agreement with Solomon's New York Times guest essay that was published last week by posting "Yes" alongside its headline, which challenged predictions of mass job losses from AI.
The essay argued that while AI will disrupt labor markets, it is more likely to transform work than destroy it outright.
"I've seen a sharp divide in their views of artificial intelligence. One camp sees a ‘job apocalypse' and mass unemployment ahead; the other sees a great leap forward for society," he wrote, adding, "Put me in the second camp — with a few caveats."
