A loose poll – please don’t roll your eyes – of 2,000 adults in the US about the likely impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the jobs market says, basically, that nothing good will come of it, at least insofar as the availability of paid work goes. Out of 20 different occupations, in both the private and public sectors, they reckon the likelihood of work will decrease with the introduction of AI in every one. There will be fewer jobs, says the American public.
