Assume there are massive layoffs and redundancies. Now, assume you’ve led on automations and you really know how to use AI strategically. Your own productivity far exceeds that of your fired former co workers, who didn’t adapt. Does your salary rise? Now, I know the cynics will say: “no, you’ll not see any benefit, employers will just pocket the difference”. But I’m not sure about this. An agricultural worker today who knows how to use high tech farm machinery is going to be paid better than his spade and shovel predecessors. Granted, for higher wages to happen, employees will probably have to demonstrate that they are actually worth - which they would presumably do with their own unique skills that aren’t so easy to automate. Furthermore, the rise of tiny departments means that paradoxically, the reliance on so few people has meant it’s absolutely essential to get hiring right - a bum candidate is also going to cost you more in lost productivity. In the UK, we are seeing jobs falling, while job listings of salaries are rising - so possibly some early evidence. what do you think? submitted by /u/situatzi6410
