Seeing from a Company’s perspective, they aim to make money. Not to provide jobs. If AI lets them cut costs and replace workers, why
wouldn’t
they do it?
We see AI replacing humans as a bad thing. But companies and founders don’t see it that way. They prioritise efficiency, scale, and higher profits and if AI can provide them, they will naturally go for that.
And the system we live in, including laws and democracy, gives them the freedom to act based on that perspective.
Even if one company
wanted
to keep workers, they might lose to competitors who adopt AI and cut costs. Why would they take such a risk.
People(including me) get angry at companies for layoffs due to AI, but isn’t that just how capitalism is designed to work? Maximize efficiency, minimize cost.
So is the real problem AI and corporations or the system that makes this behavior the most rational choice?
I’m not defending it.
just questioning where the blame actually belongs.
Try to answering logically, not just emotionally. Laws reward efficiency and practical judgements above moral ones majority of time.
