Warren Buffett speaks about AI… …back in 2017. Buffett: Because of its productivity, “[AI] would result in significantly less employment in certain areas. “But that’s good for society - it may not be good for a given business… “It would be a good thing, but would require enormous transformation.” It’s worth watching the whole thing. Buffett goes on to talk about how massive increases in productivity, which are beneficial for society writ large are often hard at the micro level for individuals. And, because it may be hard for individuals to tie attribution of the benefits to AI, in the same way global trade is macro beneficial but often micro painful, these productivity booms can be disruptive to democracy. Funny enough, I made a similar point to @akramsrazor and @Crussian17 last week: macro good, micro hard.
