That is the primary problem with AI. It literally prevents people in the country from being able to pay for necessities like food, water, shelter, clothing, et cetera.
In that respect, it is more than an optimization tool. It is a weapon that is used against the people of the country, and it prevents money from going into those employees bank accounts and out to those businesses it used to go out to.
So it negatively affects both individual people within the country AND the country’s businesses’ ability to make a profit.
For that reason, all AI should be owned by the government, and the government should use the resources that AI provides toward the welfare of the people in the country. There is zero justification in allowing the privatization of the benefits from it, regardless of how many competing AI companies there may be.
Yes, automation replaces jobs. In fact nearly every advance since long before the industrial revolution did. But it also increases the actual productivity per capita. So again the underlying problem is the system that transfers all gains up nowadays leaving less workers (with stagnating wages).
Not that would be sad with it gone, but we had capitalism decades ago and the system still worked for the most parts. It’s the neoliberal lunacy pushed on us since the 80s/90s (depending on country).

I.e. Capitalism.

You’re obviously not a third worlder and you don’t know a thing about the international division of labor.
That’s kind of like saying that your untreated cancer was fine a year ago because you were healthy for the most part.
