Speed of adoption leaves most behind?

As AI automates every industry, a significant portion of the population could find it increasingly difficult to retrain, risking economic irrelevance. Newly acquired skills could quickly become outdated in a relentless cycle of hyperkinetic reinvention against AI obsolescence.

The speed of adoption could surpass the population’s capacity to adapt. Those left behind could face not only economic disparity but also the frustration of witnessing the technologically adept race ahead while they struggle to keep up.

Society would be divided between those driving the future with AI and those terrified of losing their jobs, who are drawn to populist politicians promising to “Make Humans Great Again.” Rapid technological displacement could lead to misinformation and widespread panic, exacerbating divisions to a fever pitch of religious fervor.

AI companies should brace for an array of assaults, arsons, and bombings, similar to those carried out by right-wing extremists on abortion clinics or left-wing radicals on polluting corporations.

Assassination attempts on AGI company CEOs by disgruntled, unemployed former soldiers could pose a new constant risk. Alongside, we should be wary of government agencies that seem quick to guarantee security protection in return for unrestricted access to company secrets.
