The effects of AI on our society



This video is called "Global Economic Collapse" but it's not that. It is an interesting reflection on the effects of AI on our society and especially on jobs. It is compared to the advent of the automobile in New York at the beginning of the 20th century when suddenly, in less than 10 years, cars replaced horses displacing millions of jobs, just much worse, as this time it is 10s of millions of jobs which will be displaced and most will not be replaced putting stress on our social structures beyond what has happened in the past.

This is not the future, it is happening right now and it will keep accelerating over the coming decades. The robots are really coming this time. So what should we do?
