Economist behind 'China shock' warns AI worsens inequality for Gen Z workers
Original: The economist behind the ‘China shock’ says AI is a paradoxical ‘skill-disequalizer’ for Gen Z workers
Economist David Autor, best known for his work on the 'China shock', argues that artificial intelligence is acting as a paradoxical 'skill-disequalizer' for Generation Z workers. He suggests AI, rather than simply rewarding the most skilled, can flatten expertise gaps while simultaneously harming those entering the workforce with less experience, raising fresh concerns about how automation will shape early careers.
Why now: Growing anxiety about how AI will disrupt entry-level jobs for young workers is keeping expert commentary on the topic in the spotlight.
