摩根大通谈AI革命的阵痛与得失
财富FORTUNE· 2025-09-20 02:28
Core Viewpoint - The article argues that while technological innovations, such as artificial intelligence (AI), may disrupt certain jobs, they will ultimately lead to net job growth and increased productivity, following historical patterns observed in previous industrial revolutions [2][9]. Historical Context - Historical industrial revolutions, including the steam engine, electricity, and computers, did not result in widespread unemployment but instead lowered costs and created new job opportunities [2][3]. - For instance, the introduction of the steam engine led to a significant drop in wages for handloom weavers, but it also spurred demand in other sectors like coal mining and railway maintenance [2]. Productivity Trends - The speed at which new technologies translate into productivity gains has been accelerating. For example, the time taken for productivity to rise after the introduction of the steam engine was 61 years, while it was only 15 years for computers and the internet [6]. - Morgan Stanley predicts that AI will lead to a comprehensive rise in productivity in less than 7 years [6]. Employment Impact - There are contrasting views on AI's impact on employment. Some experts predict significant job losses, particularly in entry-level positions, while others, like the article's author, believe that AI will enhance human capabilities and create new job opportunities [6][7]. - The current unemployment rate for recent college graduates in the U.S. has surpassed the overall unemployment rate, indicating a tightening job market for entry-level roles [6]. Mitigation Strategies - To counteract the negative impacts of AI, strategies such as interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and corporate training programs are suggested [8]. - Companies may invest the cost savings from AI into new growth areas, potentially leading to increased hiring in sectors that integrate AI into their workflows [8]. Conclusion - Historical patterns suggest that AI will drive productivity and economic growth while creating new demand channels, rather than causing lasting damage to the labor market [9].
