Job loss risk for AI
Description
Widespread adoption of foundation model-based AI systems might lead to people's job loss as their work is automated if they are not reskilled.
Why is job loss a concern for foundation models?
Job loss might lead to a loss of income and thus might negatively impact the society and human welfare. Reskilling might be challenging given the pace of the technology evolution.

Transformation on that scale will cut their control over their work and hurts their ability to earn a living. One of their key concerns is AI replacing non-speaking background roles by instead using a digital likeness.
