While artificial intelligence (AI) at its current and expected future capabilities opens up a world of possibilities for humanity, it also presents a new set of problems that will have to be addressed.
Among them is the question, What will there be for us to do when AI does all the jobs?
Of course it’s not likely that artificial intelligence will ever completely supplant human beings in the entire workforce. But the technology already has advanced to the point that a number of forms of work, particularly creative work, that were previously thought to be something only humans can do, has now become the domain of AI.
It is not unreasonable, then, to suppose that AI’s capabilities will continue to expand to encompass more and more spheres of human activity.
