This is what I'm thinking everytime I see union comments in layoff posts. Either those unions will be very weak because of AI or AI will be artificially weaken by them, which is not the best case either.
As a current AI researchers, my opinion is while AI may surpass the average human soon (if not already) in a game of 9s humans are always better. So I wouldn’t trust a system with 0 humans in it for failsafe.
Unions derive power from their ability to withhold labor. What's their leverage when their labor isn't needed anymore because of AI?
