The rise of artificial intelligence has caused that, either in one way or another, many people issue for their job. It is not for less. Rare is the day that an expert does not appear explaining that AI will take care of many tasks that have to date people, especially young employees with less experience than their classmates.
In fact, although some companies do not open it openly, there is no lack of experts who link current dismissals with a greater automation, caused by the use of fashion tools such as Chatgpt, Claude and others. However, a recent and the least curious study indicates otherwise: not all the fault is AI. It was something that happened before.
Is technology the enemy of work, and not just AI?
It was Bill Gates who began by saying that all the workers who did not hug and learn to use artificial intelligence had the days counted. That With it something similar would happen that with the computer revolution of the 90s. Someone who does not know how to drive chatgpt and that type of chatbots will be like who has no idea of turning on a computer: complicated.
Many others have deepened in this same idea, and have even gone further. A former Google worker said that AI will generate a decade and a half in which people will have very difficult to find work. And even celebrities like Sam Altman or Elon Musk have imagined idle societies, in which people can give their hobbies.
However, things are not always what they seem to be. At least, an investigation carried out by Socio-Economic Review seems to suggest something very different. According to them, Technology has been destroying jobs progressively since 2000. That is, it is a trend with decades of seniority, and that is not reduced exclusively to now and AI.
In the opinion of Dr. Nick O’Donovan, Professor of Political Economics and Public Policies at the University School of Keele, the «Revolution» It started when companies began using cloud services and «invest strongly in digital infrastructure». Without going any further, driving more and more different digital platforms.
It is not a matter of education just
In case little, the study also indicates that, despite the increase in the demand for higher education and training, many qualified workers have not seen a proportional increase in their income. Or what is the same as, contrary to what some predict, greater academic preparation will not be synonymous with more job opportunities either.
However, O’Donovan does not take importance to the issue of AI, nor does it deny that this will still put the most complicated things to workers, especially those who form for generation Z. Simply, he says, it is another episode more than one story that, judging by his criteria, comes from afar.
