Economists Debate: Will AI Create New Jobs or Leave People Unemployed?

Leading economists and scientists agree that AI will sharply increase labor productivity. However, opinions diverge on other aspects: some are confident that AI will open up new opportunities and professions, while others warn of layoffs, especially among office workers dealing with texts, documents, and information processing.

😳 At the same time, experts note an interesting trend: the more tasks neural networks take on, the more valuable become skills that are difficult to automate—communication, critical thinking, and decision-making. It turns out to be a paradox: the smarter AI becomes, the higher the demand for human qualities.
