If the value of AI productivity is dealt out broadly, there will be a lot of non-AI jobs created at decent wages. That's how computing has worked until this decade. Our parents didn't get regular massages or yoga classes, for instance.
I spent a lot of time between 2008 - 2014 consulting on human collaboration, impressing the business value to clients, at the Enterprise 2.0 conference I helped run and blogging on ZDNet.
Silos, bureaucratic convoluted workflows, ego driven product management etc are all fundamentally human created and restrictive attributes. Nothing ever changes but the enterprise suites attempted to role up collaboration software into their offerings, converting them to software features which failed to address the core human problems - in fact often exacerbating them.
Now AI is turbocharging these fundamental human organizational business flaws. The technology is always downstream to strategic organizational logic, but the new magic technology is always sold and bought as the panacea for business problems.
The questions that come to mind concerning the new work that will emerge in the wake of intense AI implementations are: who will be able to do this new work, and will there be enough of it to go around? Or will gainful employment be limited to a minority of the very highly educated? Only time will tell, I guess.
