1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document 2. Core View of the Report - Citrini Research's 2028 AI doomsday prophecy is a perfect brainstorm, but the real - world economy is a super - chaotic system. Prophets often underestimate human beings' self - adaptive ability. There is no reason to be overly pessimistic about the AI era [2][4][15] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs John Keynes - "Economic Possibilities for our Grandchildren": Endless Human Desires - Keynes in 1930 predicted that by 2030, living standards would increase 4 - 8 times and humans would work 15 hours a week, similar to Citrini's AI doomsday theory. However, this view underestimates the expansion of human desires. AI may eliminate old jobs, but human desires will create new ones [6] - The AI doomsday theory assumes that humans will stop striving and enjoy leisure passively, which does not conform to social development logic. "Freedom" and "fairness" are the core drivers and ultimate goals of economic development [7][8] Bertrand Russell - "In Praise of Idleness": Leisure as a "Civilization Asset" rather than a "Political Liability" - "In Praise of Idleness" is like the origin of the 2028 AI doomsday prophecy but with a milder tone. The real - world response to technological progress is different from Russell's assumption, and the AI doomsday theory over - worries about the loss of purchasing power due to job loss [9] - Leisure is a "civilization asset" that can be transformed into creativity. The political system will take measures to hedge against high unemployment, and the AI doomsday theory ignores this spontaneous adjustment [10] - Both "In Praise of Idleness" and the AI doomsday theory have flaws, and the resilience of the social structure is stronger than expected [11] Robert Solow - "The Solow Paradox": Inertia of Production Relations - The AI doomsday theory criticizes "The Solow Paradox" and warns that the "invisibility" of technology progress may bring huge impacts. However, historical experience shows that the transformation of technology into productivity is relatively slow, and the so - called "doomsday" will be offset by the "time - lag effect" [12] - The impact of AI on employment and production relations is less significant than macro - factors and the 2020 public health event. Enterprises are complex interest - game entities, and AI may face resistance. Even if production relations change, human participation will become a scarce asset [13] David Graeber - "On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs: A Work Theory": Ending Meaningless Bullshit Jobs - "On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs" directly refutes the AI doomsday theory. AI can be a trigger for efficiency regression by replacing meaningless jobs, rather than a catalyst for social collapse [14] - AI provides an opportunity for re - distribution, forcing society to shift from "job - centered" to "people - centered". The so - called "doomsday" is actually the end of "bullshit jobs" and a shattering of the collective perception of "everyone must be busy" [15]
